SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Cristina Castro (D-Elgin) issued the following statement after former State Senator Martin Sandoval’s indictment for federal bribery charges:
“I was outraged to hear of my former colleague’s behavior. It sheds more light on the culture of corruption we have in Springfield that allows a legislator to have such blatant disregard for his responsibility to the citizens who elected him to represent their best interests. This culture needs to end. I’m proud to serve on the joint ethics commission, and I vow to fight non-stop until we find a solution.”
