Rich Miller: It'll take more than Mapes leaving to change Statehouse culture
If you ask anyone at the Statehouse about House Speaker Michael Madigan's former chief of staff Tim Mapes, they'll all say he made the trains run on time. Mapes made sure everything got done exactly the way he (and his boss) wanted. He mastered the complexities and dominated the workings of Illinois House operations as well as Madigan's massive political network. He worked practically nonstop, and he appeared completely loyal to Madigan.
