House speaker Madigan agrees with Rauner on selling the Thompson Center
Democratic Illinois house speaker Mike Madigan and Republican governor Bruce Rauner agree on one thing: the state should “consider” selling the Thompson Center in the Loop. The office building at 100 W. Randolph is in a prime location that could net Illinois $220 million, according to estimates from the governor’s office. “While technical questions pertaining to the sale remain, it is my intention to work with the governor on developing a course of action for the Thompson Center that best serves the interests of the people of Illinois,” Madigan said in a statement.
