Betsy’s a cog in Madigan machine

The Chicago Tribune is out with a new head-spinning report on the extent of Mike Madigan’s corruption, which has served as content for the NRCC’s ads (HERE and HERE) against Betsy Dirksen Lobbyist.

Madigan claims he’s doing nothing “ethically improper” in collecting henchmen to further his tax-hiking agenda and bankroll his choice Democrat candidates (like Betsy).

Will this be enough to make Betsy Dirksen Lobbyist speak out against Madigan?

Given she’s already dodged on the question, her campaign is bankrolled by Madigan’s cronies, and her corporate lobbyist husband’s firm (and thus, Betsy’s income) is dependent on Madigan’s success, the answer is NO.
