SPRINGFIELD – Following the announcement of the verdict in the “ComEd Four” trial, State Representative Tom Weber (R-Lake Villa) issued the following response:

"Today's verdict in the 'ComEd Four' trial is a small victory for the people of Illinois, but it can't stop here," said Weber. "Hardly anything has changed to Illinois' weak ethics laws since Mike Madigan left office, and we must act to stop this self-serving culture. This trial exposed the mobster mentality of self-dealing, pay-to-play politics, and it will happen again unless Democrats join us in passing the strict laws we need to hold politicians and lobbyists accountable to the people."
