We look at efforts to prevent corruption in Illinois.
The former Illinois House Speaker and longtime chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois faces multiple counts that carry prisons sentences of up to 20 years each. He's pleaded not guilty and says he's proud of his career in public service. Even if that is the case, advocates say Madigan's indictment should be a call for reform of state government.
