Abstract:
Illinois is one of only six states with no restrictions on campaign contributions to candidates. The state is now inching closer to campaign-finance reform. Illinois Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, a Democrat, proposed a bill that limits contributions from individuals, corporations, labor unions and political action committees-but allows unlimited contributions from political parties and legislative caucuses.
