Illinois legislators left Springfield late Wednesday without naming a new inspector general amid partisan squabbling over a replacement, leaving a key watchdog office vacant even as federal prosecutors continue their probe of corruption at the statehouse.
Pope originally intended to depart in mid-December, but she extended her tenure after a bipartisan panel appointed by the Democratic and Republican leaders of the state House and Senate deadlocked on nominating her replacement. The panel’s four Republican members are backing Joseph Hartzler, a former assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and was recommended by the search committee.
Rep. Maurice West, D-Rockford, on the floor as the Illinois House of Representatives convenes at the Bank of Springfield Center, January 8, 2021. “I don’t know if we can resolve this collectively because it’s already been politicized by our chairwoman,” he said.
