In Springfield, all roads and all bills led to powerful House Speaker Mike Madigan, according to testimony Thursday from two former members of the Illinois House who described the Madigan's power and how he used it. The testimony came during the trial for the so-called "ComEd 4," who are accused of using utility company jobs and contracts to bribe and illegally influence Madigan, essentially showering a 'stream of benefits' on the former House speaker to avoid his interference with the company's Springfield agenda.
