It's been a long morning watching Twitter -- mostly @capitolfax and @ShiaKapos on this issue -- but the Illinois House Democrats have finally named a successor to Michael Madigan. Emanuel "Chris" Welch (7th) was elected Speaker of the Illinois House this morning. Licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 1997, Welch is also employed by the law firm of Ancel Glink P.C., according to ARDC.
But... though Mr. Madigan is no longer Speaker, the question still remains... who will draw the new legislative maps? And how will they be drawn? Remember -- judicial subcircuits are being redrawn this year, too.

Great. Now Madigan will have too much time on their hands.
Madigan will have some parting gifts for plenty of people. What kind? It depends on the recipient. Was that comment vague enough for all of you?
