Sunlight Foundation tags the wrong Michael J. Madigan
Friday, Jul 29, 2016 - Posted by Rich Miller * From the Sunlight Foundation…
* That number isn’t 64, it’s 63 because the crack reformers who’ve supposedly been working hard on this project since February listed Speaker Madigan as a DC lobbyist for Akin, Gump. That particular Michael J. Madigan lobbied for a private corrections company in 2007 and formerly served as US Sen. Fred Thompson’s chief counsel. Madigan’s spokesman says his boss has never been registered as a DC lobbyist and has never been on Sen. Thompson’s staff. Oops. …Adding… They corrected it.

“Madigan’s spokesman says his boss has never been registered as a DC lobbyist and has never been on Sen. Thompson’s staff.”
But has Madigan ever appeared on ‘Law and Order’? Or gotten a reverse mortgage?

Good find and thanks for pointing out. We double checked and corrected our story. Fun fact, there is also a Michael P. Madigan that is an IL lobbyist. See our updated story here: http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2016/07/28/influence-at-the-dnc-more-than-60-superdelegates-are-registered-lobbyists/
