The Washington Post <https://www.washingtonpost.corn/dc-md-va/2020/11/19/boy-scouts-bankruptcy-abuse/> (11/19, Schmidt, 14.2M) reports that the Boy Scouts of America "said it must reach a settlement in its ongoing bankruptcy case by next summer" after over 95,000 sex-abuse claims were filed "as part of the organization's ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy case." The Post says, "The staggering volume of claims exceeded expectations of the victims' lawyers and could further complicate a restructuring process that is coming at the worst possible time for the Boy Scouts" during the pandemic that has exacerbated weakened membership and hit revenue. An attorney for the organization, Jessica Boelter, said, "Simply stated, we're going to run out of money if we linger any longer in bankruptcy." Financial Crime & Corporate Scandals Illinois House Speaker Madigan Responds To Bribery Charges Against Associates. WGEM-TV <https://wgem.com/2020/11/19/madigan-responds-to-bribery-charges-against-associatest> Quincy, IL (11/19, Roberts) reports from Chicago, "House Speaker Mike Madigan released a written statement Thursday following the issuing of charges on Wednesday against several former executives and lobbyists for Commonwealth Edison." WGEM-TV adds, "Prosecutors haven't charged Madigan and in the statement Madigan maintains the indictment alleges no criminal misconduct or wrong doing on his part." According to WGEM-TV, "Wednesday's indictment named five individuals including Mike McClain, a former Quincy lawmaker, lobbyist, and close confidant of Madigan. Each of the five individuals was charged with bribery conspiracy, bribery, and willfully falsifying ComEd and Exelon books, records, and accounts. The indictment also names former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore, former executive John Hooker, and lobbyist Jay Doherty." The Chicago Sun-Times <https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2020/11/19/21575357/speaker-michaelmadigan-commonwealth-edison-bribery-indictment-reaction-michael-mcclain> (11/19, Hinton, 875K) reports, "After members of Madigan's inner circle were indicted for an alleged bribery scheme designed to influence him, four more state House Democrats say they won't be voting for Madigan to maintain his powerful position in January, effectively blocking him from another term in that seat if they hold to their statements. Madigan said in a lengthy, two-page statement that to the extent anyone at Commonwealth Edison thought they could 'influence my conduct as a legislator ... they were fundamentally mistaken."If they even harbored the thought that they could bribe or influence me, they would have failed miserably,' Madigan said. 'I take offense at any notion otherwise. To the extent anyone may have suggested to others that I could be influenced, then they, too, were wrong. Had I known about it, I would have made every effort to put a stop to it.' The Chicago Tribune <https://vvww.chicagotribune.corn/politics/ct-michael-madigan-illinois-democrats20201119-nnfoomr55vgf7d6wjurbt7sq2e-story.html> (11/19, Pearson, Munks, Petrella, 2.65M) reports, "Madigan, long undisputed in his role as Illinois' most powerful politician, now finds his leadership hanging on the precipice as the state faces one of the most tumultuous periods in its history." The Tribune adds, "A day after his closest political ally was indicted in a bribery and influence-buying scheme involving Commonwealth Edison, Madigan on Thursday saw eight more of his rank-and-file House members pledge not to reelect him when lawmakers reconvene in January," and "that left Madigan at least three votes shy of the 60 he'll need to win another term in January."
