With two members of the ComEd Four scheduled to be sentenced next week, Illinois Democrats and Republicans differ on the need for energy-related ethics reform.
Governor J.B. Pritzker’s candidate for lieutenant governor, former state Rep. Christian Mitchell, said lawmakers led with ethics when they passed the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA).
State Rep. Patrick Windhorst said the General Assembly’s super-majority Democrats have no desire to pass meaningful ethics reform.
Two ComEd Four defendants are scheduled to be sentenced next week after their 2023 convictions for a scheme to bribe former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.
Mitchell served as executive director of the Democratic Party of Illinois in 2018 when Madigan was party chairman.
