Illinois State Rep. Martin McLaughlin, R-Barrington Hills, reminded his House colleagues that former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan and former ComEd chief executive officer Anne Pramaggiore went to prison for “helping” utility payers. “Please, please Democrats, stop helping utility payers across the state of Illinois. They cannot afford any more of your expensive help,” McLaughlin said. Madigan began serving a 7.5-year prison term for public corruption Oct. 13. Pramaggiore was convicted of conspiracy, bribery and falsifying records in 2023 for her role in a scheme to bribe Madigan. Pramaggiore’s two-year prison sentence is scheduled to begin Dec. 1.
