Rangerdeepv Posted January 18, 2021 at 07:43 PM Share Posted January 18, 2021 at 07:43 PM Ding dong the wicked ------- is dead! I will not miss this crooked ding-a-ling. Let's all hope this is true. There is more than enough blame to go around for the destruction of this state but the brunt of it is pointed at this clown. He has never served the people for one day that I can remember only serving himself and his cronies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip Posted January 18, 2021 at 08:00 PM Share Posted January 18, 2021 at 08:00 PM Most of his power didn’t come from being Speaker....... Speaker/not speaker Representative/retired That’s all fairly meaningless in the grand scheme. Unless he steps down as Democratic Party Chairman in Illinois he’ll still control the purse strings.... And he who controls the purse strings wields the power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted January 18, 2021 at 10:33 PM Share Posted January 18, 2021 at 10:33 PM Retire or not, he has spent decades installing his loyal cronies into every corner of Illinois government and every corner of Illinois business, he will remain the puppet master of Illinois politics and big business regardless of any office he holds.
