I am now officially adding to the “Boss Madigan” list James Smith Democratic chair of Bumbledump Township-population 13 in far Western Il and Joseph Jones of Nowhere Township-population 9 in far Southern Ill. These two are key in blocking my turnaround agenda and I will put in all resources I can including money from Griffin and Uhlein to bring these corrupt career politicians down and keep these guys from promoting Madigan’s agenda.
