Only days before the ComEd trial is set to begin, Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s office announced that Illinois Commerce Commission Chair Carrie Zalewski, whose father-in-law is tied to the court case, will resign from her position overseeing the state’s utilities.

Cayli Baker, an ICC spokesperson, said Carrie Zalewski’s resignation from the $144,000-a-year post before her five-year term is up has nothing to do with the upcoming trial. Baker said Zalewski has not been interviewed by federal authorities and that she has never been a subject in the far-reaching investigation.“Several factors went into the chairman’s decision to wind down just before the end of her term,” Baker said.
Other Pritzker nominations to the ICC are Stacey Paradis, executive director of the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, and Conrad Reddick, an attorney who once represented the Illinois Industrial Energy Consumers and worked as a lawyer for the city of Chicago on utility matters. Madigan and McClain have been charged in a separate case arising from the scandal. They have denied wrongdoing.The federal case involves an array of alleged bribery and conspiracy schemes carried out from 2011 to 2019, including a plot to steer ComEd payments for little or no-work jobs to members of Madigan’s vast political operation.
