(Springfield, IL) — Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office says both the legislature and local prosecutors can look into claims of sexual harassment at the State Capitol. Madigan’s office yesterday responded to a request for an independent prosecutor to look into what’s being called a ‘culture’ of harassment, by saying that other offices should act first. The AG says she can only step-in over local prosecutors if there is a conflict of interest or other legal issue.
