Burris Testimony Referred to Sangamon County State’s Attorney

Awesomeness never ends

Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan today referred several documents associated with U.S. Senator Roland Burris and his testimony last month before the Illinois House Special Investigative Committee to Sangamon County States Attorney John Schmidt.

Speaker Madigan also sent a letter to Schmidt which begain “Pursuant to our telephone conversation today…” So, this is obviously more than just a blind referral. More in a bit.

Rich has the original story up linked above.  Good for the Speaker.  John Schmidt, the Sangamon County State’s Attorney, is a Republican and while I’m not terribly familiar with him, my understanding is he’s a career prosecutor and a good State’s Attorney.
