Redmond Faces Choice In Illinois House Leadership Fight
Springfield AP: Democratic Party faces a brutal leadership struggle as outgoing Speaker William A. Redmond, 72, weighs a bid to remain influential while Republicans control the House. Rising stars Michael J. Madigan and Thaddeus Lechowicz vie for minority leader, offering Redmond the "speaker emeritus" post with a $10,000 bonus, a proposal he regards as potential exile but may accept to keep influence and pension.
