(The Center Square) – With two members of the ComEd Four scheduled to be sentenced next week, Illinois Democrats and Republicans differ on the need for energy-related ethics reform.

Sentencing is scheduled next Monday, July 21, for former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore after she was convicted of conspiracy, bribery and falsifying records in connection with a scheme to bribe former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago. Ex-lobbyist and state lawmaker Michael McClain, D-Quincy, is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday, July 24.
