Is Madigan S Democratic Opponent A Rauner Plant

                  One day last month, I took a noontime drive to Archer Heights to see who I should vote for in the Democratic primary for the 22nd legislative district:     Michael Madigan or Jason Gonzales.



                        I’m sort of torn on this one. I mean, on one hand, I could write a book about the dastardly deeds of Mr. Madigan, chairman of the state Democratic     Party—his strong-arm election tactics, his law firm’s efforts to win property tax breaks for the rich (including, by the way, the owners of the building     that houses Rauner’s old firm), his helping the state run up massive debt, and so forth.



                        And what about Gonzales? Is he a front for Rauner too?



                        From community college, he went to Duke and then on to MIT and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. For years, he worked in real estate, and lived not     far from Wrigley Field.



                        For his part, Gonzales insists he’s not a Rauner plant.



                        Uh-oh, another name. OK, folks, pay close attention—it’s about to get complicated.
