Colt guy Posted November 15, 2019 at 02:48 AM Share Posted November 15, 2019 at 02:48 AM Things are heating up it seems. Low hanging fruit always leads to the big stuff. Lets see what come out.

Because Madigan is the chairman of the state Democrat Party and is has control of handing out campaign dollars. He controls the state Democrat Party which controls the state.

mikeyk101 Posted November 15, 2019 at 03:57 PM Share Posted November 15, 2019 at 03:57 PM What will also be interesting is if no indictment or repercussions as a result of all the federal investigations, will Cullerton stay in Illinois or move to another state. If he moves, that would just be further proof of what is pretty much already common knowledge that Illinois is failing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTHunter Posted November 20, 2019 at 08:09 PM Share Posted November 20, 2019 at 08:09 PM Hhmm? Cullerton is three years younger than "Lurch" so why can't he "retire" as well - while he still can ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
