Madigan Pension Suspended
Sorry about the Tribune paywall (there are ways around it):
Former Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan’s $158,000 annual state of Illinois pension is being halted following his high-profile corruption conviction.
Timothy Blair, executive secretary of the Illinois General Assembly Retirement System, said Thursday he “sent the letter out today” to notify Madigan the pension system will stop sending his monthly checks because Illinois law bars elected officials in the legislative pension plan from collecting payments once they are convicted or enter a guilty plea in a felony tied to their government job.
But Blair said Madigan will receive his nearly $13,170 pension check for February because that has already been processed.
Here's a different link from WTTW:
Michael Madigan’s pension has been suspended following his conviction on federal corruption charges.
The General Assembly Retirement System of Illinois (GARS) sent the former Illinois Speaker of the House notice by mail Thursday, according to the State Retirement Systems.
The suspension comes days after Madigan, 82, was convicted on 10 felony counts of bribery, conspiracy and wire fraud in his landmark corruption trial.
Hopefully, he can survive on his other ill-gotten gains and generous gifts from those who benefited from his favors. Maybe he can move in with the booger-eater.

All the money that thief stole,..Don't think he will live long enough to count it all...
Whats for dinner Lisa. Hope it’s not boogers again.
Regarding “his other ill gotten gains”. Just saw on one of the news shows that his “forfeiture hearing” to claw back those ill gotten gains is scheduled for May. Supposedly the Feds wanted to do it right now but the judge made it May,
Hopefully Trump doesn't stick his nose into this and deprive us of the justice we’ve long been waiting for.
Claw back that $13K check sent out...
In a just society Madigan would have already at least 40 years in prison and life to do. No parole, no commution. When he finally dies, creamate him put the ashes in a lead container and drop it in the Marianas Trench. Slime is a disgrace to humanity
From sun times
“ According to court records, the government must file its motion for forfeiture by March 14. A hearing on post-trial motions, including the forfeiture bench trial, is set for May 5.
In a filing last month, prosecutors indicated they would seek approximately $3.24 million in forfeiture if Madigan were convicted. It is not clear whether that number could change given the counts Madigan was found guilty on.”
Always remember FOP Lodge 7 endorsed him year over year over year.
Old days he would been dragged out of the court room, then clubbed like a baby seal....tarred, feathered. Returned back to the booger eater with a bill.
Chump change hope he enjoys his staycation at club fed
I’m no fan of Madigan but your going to tell me that a former Obama connected, 007th District Commander (Kenneth Johnson) gets caught stealing his dead mother’s social security checks for 25 years and used ATM machines in Chicago Police facilities to basically commit over 280 federal felonies after making monthly withdrawals on city time during work and he gets to keep his 160K pension collecting over 10K a month and only 6 months probation and ordered to make restitution payments? Come on man….

His law firm should be able to compensate him very well.
After all the taxes he saved for businesses.
Well how do we get Barz pension cancelled? He has committed perjury on police reports written and oral, in police board hearings along with criminal and civil courts? Ask Crook County states attorney office? He is on the Brady list? This is why they needed to promote him? If he starts talking the entire command of CPD would need to explain why they keep him let alone place Barz in charge?
He will not need any tag days.
