SPRINGFIELD – Following the announcement of the verdict in the “ComEd Four” trial, State Representative Wayne Rosenthal (R-Morrisonville) issued the following statement in response:

"This is my second stint serving in the Illinois General Assembly, and the mob-like culture of corruption that Mike Madigan allowed to spread has been little changed," said Rosenthal. "Until Democrats get serious about ethics reform, there will be more trials like this, and trust in state government will continue to fall, if that's even possible. The people of Illinois deserve better, and I will keep fighting for the serious reform we need."
