Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider today issued the following statement as blasting Governor JB Pritzker for participating in Mike Madigan’s convention of corruption and for remaining silent on whether State Sen. Terry Link should step down:
“Every Democrat who participates in a convention chaired by a man under criminal investigation for bribery is complicit in his corruption. Corruption starts at the top – and Governor Pritzker is knee deep in Madigan’s corruption. Pritzker remains silent on whether State Sen. Terry Link should resign, too. The Governor will be held accountable for pledging allegiance to Chairman Madigan and his convention of corruption.”
