Kevin Hacker and Victor Rini were stripped of their seats on the Chicago FOP's political endorsement panel Nov. 12--a week after Madigan was elected--by union President Mark Donahue.
The committee had chosen Republican Joe Birkett over Madigan by a 5-3 vote in August. But the recommendation was ignored when Donahue and FOP lodges in the state unanimously voted to award Madigan the endorsement of the state FOP. . http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-1462330.html
