GOP Governor Candidate Wants Investigation in to Pritzker’s Staff

A Republican candidate for governor is calling for an investigation into what he says is patronage hiring by Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s staff of close allies of former House Speaker Michael Madigan. Emails released by the Jesse Sullivan campaign between former Madigan associate Michael McClain and members of Pritzker’s staff show discussions about hiring potential candidates for jobs within the governor’s administration. Both Madigan and McClain face federal criminal corruption charges.
