Mike McLain, John Hooker, Jay Doherty and Anne Pramaggiore are charged with corruption and conspiracy for allegedly bribing the powerful former speaker with favors to keep him from killing or “bricking” legislation favorable to the utility.
Allegedly among the favors was hiring former politicians and their friends and family members for “no work” lobbying jobs.
“As far as I know,” Marquez asked. “All these guys, they’re a sub under you and you cut them a check?” He continued, “do they do anything or what do they do? What do you have them doing?” “Not much,” was Doherty’s response. “Our friend called yesterday and asked if I would increase the request from Exelon ComEd to three times what they did last year,” one e-mail read.
