Monique Davis (center), the longtime 27th District state representative from Morgan Park who retired last December, was honored at a bon-voyage party at Mr. G’s Supper Club on June 16 on the occasion of her retirement. Among the well-wishers at the celebration were Christy Hunter (from left), Shirley Madigan, Speaker of the House Michael Madigan and Clayton Starks. Davis began her tenure in January 1987, and she retired on Dec. 30, 2016, after 29 years of service. Justin Slaughter, 36, was sworn in as the new state representative on Jan. 5.

“That cutout of Mike Madigan… That ‘to scale’? The pants are too low… “

It looks as if the Speaker is about to smile.

Being able to fly on Mike’s plane back and forth from Chicago probably made the 29 years of service possible.

She would have gotten tired of the drive a lot sooner.

Gov. Rauner was scheduled to attend, but his sailor suit didn’t come back from the cleaners.

===Mike’s plane===

Madigan has a plane? Who knew?

“Ok, like this…’tallest to shortest’… That’s it… “

And I hear they have stops on the cruise to go antiquing, so you’ll be able to replace that statute…

Its what happened after the photo. Monique asked the Speaker how that legislation to evict her tenants was coming along and if she can keep the rent she never paid to CPS as a retirement gift for her years of loyal service
