More Corruption Probes
- Exelon Utilities CEO Anne Pramaggiore abruptly retired Tuesday amid a wide-ranging federal investigation that includes the company’s lobbying activities at the Illinois State Capitol.
The announcement of Pramaggiore’s retirement came less than a week after Exelon and ComEd acknowledged they had received a second subpoena in the probe. Authorities were looking for “communications” between the companies and state Sen. Martin Sandoval, a Chicago Democrat whose home and offices were raided by FBI agents last month.
In addition, the Illinois Senate was served with a search warrant late last month. The lengthy list of things authorities searched for included “items related to ComEd, Exelon, any employee, officer or representative of any of those businesses, Exelon Official A, Exelon Official B, Exelon Official C, Exelon Official D, and/or any issue supported by any of those businesses or individuals, including, but not limited to, rate increases.”
Just a cursory reading of the article hints at the names Quinn, Zalewski ... and Madigan.

I sold my Exelon stock years ago b/c I felt it was run like a government entity in Illinois and not a for-profit business. Just a shit company.
I pray this is an early Christmas gift!
This won't do. There are no women in the ceo offices, so the marxist nit wits say, so, this woman just can't be guilty of ANYTHING, she's a lady, only those misogynist men are guilty of crimes.
Our electric bills will now go up to pay the lawyers....
so many on the take...how can any mayor change much???? every dept. every alderman. Trump will be in town....dont know effect
every new white shirt and promotion...just beat cops punch out.
The Feebs should dig into the parent company of Peoples Gas, they raped the state and customers with rate increases up the ass, with the help of Madigan and of course the Hispanic caucus. The reward being jobs handed out to connected people.
I'll believe it when I see it
Anne Pramaggiore: ComEd’s CEO Amplifies Diversity and Change
Pramaggiore is the first female CEO of ComEd — the largest electric utility company in the region.
Growing up in Dayton, Ohio, she attended Miami University, graduating with a major in Communications and Theater. Her fascination with politics began when practically every American was tuned into the Watergate scandal —leading to President Nixon’s resignation.
She says, “There was all of these books created and I was always fascinated by all of this. Getting an entrée into the political landscape and seeing our country in crisis. Living through that was really interesting to me, so I was very interested in government, leaders and change.”
Hope you have a nice view of a corruption crisis.
Put Illinoisans back to work. Start building more prisons to house these corrupt cocksuckers!
The FBI also raided Zalewski's house....More bird seed
OT: Hopefully there will be room for the twerp murder mayor in federal prison.
Pramaggiore also gave $10,000 to the campaign of former Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who invited Pramaggiore and her husband, Michael Harrington, on a junket to Rome for the elevation of then-Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich to cardinal. At the time, employees of ComEd and Exelon had made more than $183,000 in contributions supporting Emanuel, the Tribune has reported.
Chicago Tribune’s Bill Ruthhart contributed.
Possible problems for retired CPD over there
Gee, ComEd goes back to the good old days of buying up people with no spines, nor moral centers - Like Old Man Ayers did with all of the mopes associated with UICC - Stan Ikenberry most prominent. Bill Ayers’s Pappy paved the way for his decades of turning kindergarten teachers into Bolsheviks and his Old Lady the Odious Bernadine Dohrn creating the Anti-Cop Industry. Old Man Ayers had deep pockets and longer fingers.
Keep it coming FBI guys and gals.
We all love you for this one. Try and make it a few bakers dozens would you please.
Tom byrne should start looking over his shoulder at com ed. It's the same cess pool there as the cpd. The same peo people that propped up his career at both places are all going down
She doesn’t want to go to jail the boys are done 😎
please let it be true
Here's a random thought. When Madigan dies he will be given a hero's funeral just like Rosty. Chew on that one for a minute.
I think President The Donald is the one turning the FBI screws into corrupt Illinois Democrats. He is doing it quietly and behind the scenes so that the Liberal Press doesn't start whining! Payback!
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
ComEd and Exelon aren’t these the same companies that charge exorbitant rates to its customers while its executives earn 6 plus salaries? ♠️
Hope they investigate AT&T too. They are another outfit to take a look at. Way too cozy with Illinois State and Chicago politicians. Anything seems to go in today’s world and it seems like any oversight does not exist anymore.
She says, “There was all of these books created and I was always fascinated by all of this. Getting an entrée into the political landscape and seeing our country in crisis. Living through that was really interesting to me, so I was very interested in government, leaders and change.”
DEMORAT
Wake me when any dem goes to jail!
Hopefully the 'G' can flip Pramaggiore to get to Madigan et al.
The only reason I would want the 'G' to pull the plug on this investigation is to further...
"Drain the Swamp!"
Thanks for working the Illinois and Chicagoland politicians formerly known as the 'Untouchables.'
Corrupt IL senate wants to keep Sandoval in charge of $100s millions dollars from Gov Prickzers .19 cent gas tax .. Gov's 2020 graduated income tax amendment to Constitution ??..you got to be crazy
lmao.... Ctu teacher's contract alone to raise Chicago property taxes avg.... $170 a year on top a $800 million Chicago 2020 budget deficit
Didn’t some of CPD retired bosses go to work there?
The other day I was thinking about how back in the day we all had the extra charges we paid ComEd on our monthly bills for the construction of THEIR nuclear reactors. Than they started the decommissioning charges on the monthly bills for THEIR nuclear reactors.
When ComEd was taken over by Exelon they stopped the add on fees and they have just raised our monthly bills ever since. Maybe the Feds could look into what happened to all that extra money while they are here?
Fucking Pramaggiore. Theatre degree from Miami and
Law from DePaul. That qualifies you to be a CEO? Maybe
the acting part. Call Uber and get her ass outta here.
Kinda funny when the heat is on the Douche Bag suddenly retires, Ah those corrupt Demorats!
Pramaggiore never discussed Ukraine with her son. Honest.
Go Feds, Go!
Put Madigan in the slammer where he belongs.
I'd rather vote for a mushroom. I like the portabella.
You want red sauce, bitch? Don't steal the tablecloth.
Yes, COMED, just hired the connected security company, Monterey Security, a company with strong ties to Hispanic Democratic Politics. Monterey has been discredited numerous times around the country.
For somebody to step down from a job that pays millions of dollars that says a lot about how high the level of corruption has risen, the politicians control the electric company they can raise their rates at well as long as they contribute to the politicians and give jobs away paying six figures plus to the politically connected. God help the Federal Bureau of investigation and United States attorneys office to start the process of putting them on the buses directly to the federal building load them up at the county load him up at the state house load them up in business load them up in the city we are willing to help we have plenty of transportation buses. And this caused the United States of America must do it they have to deal and Chicago Police Department stands with you no matter what the politician say they tell us not to cooperate with ice and federal bureaus we will you need our help you call!
The Feds move too slow.
Burke & madigan will die of old age before either
see a courtroom, much less jail.
Sandoval & zalewski are not so young either.
S & Z may talk to save themselves.
OT (but revelant)
Under the ACA (Afforidable Care Act; thank you Barry-O)
kids can stay on the family insurance until age 26. This
set up has dumped problem childs into the "Florida Shuffle",
the never-ending cycle between rehab, relapse, and
addiction. Rinse & repeat. "Piss farms" are highly lucrative
shams that compete for bodies to make the cash register sing.
Addicts can check in, check out at will, bounce around the state
on a multi-year vacation until they O.D. Meanwhile the taxpayers
pay for this travesty funded by the insurance industry. Unruly,
problem kids are the mules while the CEO's rake it in. Very few
live thru this and mature out of the problem to return to their
families. The piss farms and rehab centers don't run on cash.
Nobody can afford it.
So let me get this straight....
Daddy Biden takes Hunter on an Air Force Two plane ride
to Ukraine and introduces him to oil and gas business people.
Daddy never asks how things turned out.
Order some more popcorn. This is starting to get very interesting.
J.B., you fucking gill-breather, go back to Atherton
and fucking stay there
Have you noticed how the press is keeping the Kennedy name out of this?
I read somewhere Eve was to be Adam's helper!
Look over here the Suntimes supporting taxpayers about time:
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/10/15/20915692/chicago-teachers-strike-ctu-union-cps-public-schools-lori-lightfoot-jesse-sharkey
Come on Lori enough of this nonsense no strike clause, order them back to work “for the children,” start handing out vouchers so kids get educated by professionals that care, stop the madness as they say “fuck the police!” No mayor “fuck them!” Put together a unit to investigate and terminate so many that live out of the city time to “play hard baby!” Don’t cower mayor don’t be that zero be that hero!!
https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=cf8_1459792503
When they tie Cullerton to ComEd-Excelon they’ll find previous corrupt IL senate president Emil Jones, Stooger, Blago, The Madigan and girl, obama and the Fisk ComEd plant closer Rahm in the mix.
It’s not that they don’t already know all these players, but someone currently has allowed the bidness as usual to continue on unabated.
Hope they don’t leave out Sprigfield’s Dickie and Loretta Durban, the big league state lobbyist.
Wonder then they both might just abruptly “retire” for family, like Zalewski, like Rahm, like ShortShanks, like....
Theatre ? Yes that qualifies for a CEO position in a national utilities company. We’re doomed.
Dirty rotten thieving thugs! Put them under the jail!
Funny how these folks seem to think the Feds are gonna leave em alone and forget about it if they retire. It doesn't work that way. FBI peeps have very long memories. They never forget

As I recall, Bill Daley was part of Com Ed and lobbying.
Here too, in the "Ivory Towers" of many corporations, just like in the "Hallowed Halls" of Congress, it's all about the Benjamin's, baby.
Just like the "Poverty" in the community.
Whether it's dope-slinging or influence peddling.......it all has that slimy smell of evil and corruption.

Question? Does the Illinois states attorney prosecute corruption?
Can I still get light bulbs, paying my bill?
How about a probe into the Chicago public school system to all the top people there it’s about time they want to $2.5 billion added to their budget are they insane? Come on their step up fire all of them order them back to work Friday if they don’t go back to work fire them and hire all new the kids will be OK for about a month with the salaries they make ridiculous how overpaid they are fire everyone and hope the taxpayers don’t let them hold us hostage.
SCC asked:
"Are there going to be a bunch of Illinois democrats and business people headed to jail finally?"
I answered I really hope so. This shit stink of corruption amongst Illinois's power elite can no longer be covered up with bribes and favors. It would be a nice seasonal gift to all the taxpayers if the air freshener of justice smacked Mad Again and his bff's right upside his head. Maybe Mikey can get a set of bracelets put on for a few walks on television.
Please pray and fuck CTU!
Usually the powers that be put in people who are corrupt or can be corrupted.
Nothing new here.
Hunter Biden: "My word as a Biden, the only coke I
had on the Air Force Two trip to Ukaine was Diet."
Pramaggiore was swimming in the Deep End
using water wings covered with Band-Aids.
No back up plan for corruption.
(Hey, it's really hard to make a solid buck with
a law degree. Have you heard of those monster
hours they want for 3 or 4 years just to make partner?)
Just an educated guess here. The elephant could be
student loan debt. Miami U. (Ohio) is about an hour from
Dayton, so she probably stayed on campus for 4 years.
Ca-Ching! DePaul was another 3, so education + lodging
for 7 yrs. Ca-Ca-Ca-Ching. Think that may have influenced
her decisions @Exelon? I'm leaning that way.
I spotted Eddie Burke buying a used white ford bronco from fast Eddie V on south western ave yesterday.
Run Eddie Run. Your end is near.
Thanks fed partners.
where was Lisa maqdigan when all this corruption was going on? then the new attorney general Raoul aint doing shit for the tax payers. why do the feds always have to do the investigating? keep voting for these dishonest assholes.
Madigan used people’s gas as his own patronizing war chest, what about the current deputy initials KK ( Oh konow) had one of those jobs at com Ed when she was gone and miraculously came back to CPD for her big promotions...
Wake up people
Cleanup in aisle 13!
Chicago Teachers Strike, Oct. 17th
Some shit about pay & prep time.
PREP TIME! That's why you're a fucking teacher!
Same shit every year. Think you fucking know it after
4 years of College. It's FUCKING built-in, assholes.
Part of the job. Rush probably spends 2 hours off air
for every hour on. What about a brain surgeon? Who the
fuck pays for chart review, research, ect. Think all brains
are the same? Maybe Teachers do. Wake-The-Fuck-Up,
go to the front and work Register #3. Then you can go home
at night and have your evenings free.
CTU corrupt
They shy away from lesson prep so the kids most likely
won't hear that the Empire State Building was designed by
engineers using slide rules, not computers.
In the spirit of "Axios" we'll play along here:
Why is this important?
Because there was a time, before cellphones, computers,
and mindless videos, when educated individuals could
build something that still stands today.
I am disgusted with this financial blackmail and hostage
taking by our educators. If I ran a mortgage company
or apartment complex, I would pre-assign skip tracers
to every teacher that came my way. Teachers license
number, drivers, S.S. No way would you ever cheat
me out of my funds. I would track you down into the
next state if your ass bounced a check on me. Full
prosecution, no questions asked.
FBI Public Corruption Squad keep locking up the political hacks and Aldermen/Women. Don't forget the fat ass in Springfield. You can make a career right here. You can make us Chicago Proud.

No, Little Bill flew the coop years ago. Cheap cheap. 1960's ComEd little bill commercial link
Heard that Rob Martwick is also a target for his tax appeal shenanigans with Berrios.
Illinois and Chicago are the most corrupt state and city in the United States. One reason Illinois and Chicago are billions and billions of dollars in the red.
How about this for the Chicago Teachers Union.Not that you have chosen to Strike the 16% raise is now off the table and here is the new offer.All Teachers will reside in the City and pay 10% towards their pensions per pay period along with a 3% increase for Healthcare.You will be offered the 3 year contract that you want with a 7% raise in pay.1 week to ratify the contract before terminations begin.
10pm news channel did a spot on national average of teachers pay adjusted for cost of living.. guess who was the highest paid "Chicago teachers with an average 70K + a yr salary" thank you gray hair investigator guy

Welcome aboard, but you are years late for the party!
require teachers to pay their fair share into pension fund 9% , freeze pay. it's for the children . do not allow one teacher to return to work without passing current teacher certification test and provide proof of residency .
Berrios has always been on their radar, he either is a target or has already flipped.
Just hope the mayor will mirror our pay raise to the teachers.

Why is no one investigating all sex abuse scandals at CPS? One of the Principals involved was almost hired in Matteson.
