So, I probably should've known better when Republican Rep. Mark Kirk announced his bid for the U.S. Senate.

The second occurred when House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, and I formed the bipartisan Joint Committee on Government Reform. Since then, we have taken deliberate and decisive steps to change the institutional practices that allow corruption to persist in Springfield.
