If Democrats have their way, the state s five Illinois Supreme Court districts could be redrawn this year for the first time in more than five decades.
Democrats in the General Assembly released a new Illinois Supreme Court map Tuesday afternoon, to the surprise of legislative Republicans, who claim they were kept entirely out of the loop on the mapmaking process.
Rep. Tim Butler, of Springfield, who serves on the House Redistricting Committee, said he had no notice of the court maps being released on Tuesday.
“I have asked repeatedly…if the majority planned to redistrict the Supreme Court. I never once got a response to that. I think this discussion of transparency and engagement, especially with the minority party, just goes straight out the window,” Butler said at a joint redistricting hearing on Tuesday.

SPRINGFIELD, IL At least four former Illinois lawmakers are among the more than 100 across the country who have been accused of sexual harassment or misconduct during the four years since the #MeToo reckoning that began in 2017, according to data collected by The Associated Press.
One is awaiting trial on criminal charges, one was found to have behaved in a manner unbecoming of a legislator in violation of the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act and the third saw an inspector general s investigation into his conduct dismissed. Another former lawmaker was a subject in a sexual misconduct investigation last year but has not been criminally charged.
After 50 years as a state representative, Chicago Democrat Mike Madigan is resigning from the Illinois House of Representatives immediately.
Madigan served as speaker for over 30 years the longest run of any legislative leader in American history. A controversial politician, Madigan got his start in Chicago politics at a young age. Republicans blamed him for the state’s problems in campaigns, especially in the last decade that saw Madigan oversee two large income tax increases on Illinois taxpayers.
A master at politics, Madigan became wrapped up in multiple scandals in recent years. Close associates were accused of sexual harassment. Last year, he was implicated in a corruption scandal at Commonwealth Edison, which lead to many Democrats dropping their support for his leadership.
