Quotes:
"My plan was to attempt to get Speaker Madigan to pass a bill that he personally and single-handedly was holding up. Over the years, Mike Madigan has had a lucrative career representing big commercial real estate properties to reduce their property taxes and, as he told me, charging a fee for the work. The complicated property tax system in Cook County is a zero-sum game. For every dollar Madigan saves for his big downtown clients, that burden shifts to the homeowner, to the little guy. Here again the little guy gets screwed when big powerful people with connections make the rules and rig the system for their benefit while doing it on the backs of the average, ordinary homeowners.
Madigan, as the Speaker of the House, has the power to simply not call bills for a vote if he doesn't like them. Over the years, he has refused to call a bill for a vote that would provide property tax relief for homeowners. His daughter, who as Attorney General is supposed to be the advocate for the average consumer like the average homeowner, has rejected repeated requests to issue a legal opinion on whether her father's unilateral action preventing property tax relief for homeowners because he has a conflict of interest with his law practice is, in fact, a conflict of interest and should be barred by law. Why is it that homeowners have to pay higher property taxes because Madigan can, all by himself, keep in place a system that protects his clients and the millions of dollars in fees he earns from them? How Mike Madigan gets away with this is amazing to me. In my opinion, it's a glaring conflict of interest the size of the Grand Canyon that directly costs the average homeowners hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars a year. Ant it allows Mike Madigan and his firm to earn an enormous amount of money per year in legal fees. He should not be allowed to single-handedly kill property tax relief for homeowners when by doing so, he benefits financially. He makes the rules that benefit him. It is incredibly unethical. It may very well be illegal. And if it isn't, I believe it certainly should be."

--Page 191 of "The Governor" by Rod Blagojevich"(Crain’s) — Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has been asked to rule on whether House Speaker Michael Madigan, her father, has a legal conflict of interest in dealing with a key property-tax cap bill that’s now pending before the General Assembly."
--12/4/2007 Tax Reform Action Coalition (TRAC): Madigan asked to rule on dad’s potential conflict“While Cook County follows Illinois in basing real property taxation on Market Value, such value for Commercial/Industrial property can often be inconsistently estimated (assessed) and taxes inconsistently administered. The result is that some commercial property owners get off lightly, shifting their tax burden onto the shoulders of other commercial property owners and the shoulders of residential homeowners."

Article: Illinois Republicans on Wednesday are filing a federal lawsuit to overturn the state redistricting plan enacted by the Democrat-controlled General Assembly and Gov. Pat Quinn. House districts 23 and 60 could have been made Latino majority, but were not, and six other districts could easily be more Hispanic, it says, calling that failure a "gross deprivation of . . . constitutional and statutory rights..."
