Capitol Fax’ Rich Miller found this answer at a candidates’ night for those seeking to replace now-State Senator Sarah Feigenholtz’ State Rep district:
“Usually, viable Democratic candidates dodge or even flat-out run away from the ‘Madigan question.’
“All but one of the Democratic HD12 candidates have found a new path: Say he should step down without actually committing to making him go away. “
Saying something like this candidate who
“…confirmed that she thought it was time for Madigan to step down: ‘I answered yes because I believe that Springfield would benefit from a new generation of leadership.’
“‘However,’ [Margaret] Croke added, ‘as I have said on several occasions, I will vote for the Democrat for speaker which in all likelihood will be Mike Madigan.'”
Instead of “I won’t back Michael Madigan for Speaker.”
Some added it was time for term limits for leaders, a concept I introduced in my candidacy for Governor as a Libertarian.
Jack Franks never said he would vote against Madigan for Speaker and he never did.
More obfuscation.
Now with Princess Lisa out forever running for Gov. why the hell does tyrant Madigan stick around?
Answer: He wants to stay out of jail.
LoL!
Because Ness will support Madigan.
What’s Malone’s take on re-electing Madigan as Speaker?
How about Schofield’s?
I know Skillicorn won’t vote for Madigan.
