 Moved to the top of the blog with the latest response (Andrzejewski). Here is a short form of the open letter sent to the gubernatorial candidates for their response:
Do you consider the power the legislative leaders hold in Springfield to be a problem? If so, how would you address it, in general. And, specifically, how do you plan to get your agenda past Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton?Also, the Tribune investigations raised many concerns about Speaker Madigan’s work as a property tax attorney.
