The current legal framework in Illinois is insufficient to tackle the persistent issue of corruption, according to recent discussions. Critics argue that the Majority Party has not taken the necessary steps to implement comprehensive ethics reforms aimed at holding elected officials accountable.

There is a call for zero tolerance towards corrupt practices and a push for preventive measures to curb misconduct before it escalates into federal offenses. The underlying goal is to restore public trust among Illinois residents.

"Yet, the Majority Party refuses to make the sweeping ethics changes necessary to hold elected officials accountable."

"We must show zero tolerance for corruption and stop bad behavior BEFORE it becomes a federal crime if we want to earn back the trust of Illinois residents."
