Had a great meet and greet with the Springfield press corp today in my office. I was happy to learn more about the journalists who work to cover the state legislature, and share some common ground with my journalism background working for @WGNNews! pic.twitter.com/pQJ2GBabdj

Looks like six other people, besides the speaker. Is that due to social distancing or is that all that’s left of the Capital press corps?

I dunno what any map will look like right now, but it’s fair to say I’m fairly certain that the outcome will be fair for all.

Is it still a press “corps” or more a press “limb” when there are just six reporters?

Spokesman Steve Brown reflexively said Madigan had no knowledge of any such alleged corruption, tolerates no wrongdoing, and will have no further comment.

OK O’Connor just because I’m new doesn’t new doesn’t mean you don’t have to be prepared before meeting with me, for the Love of Pete, Miller’s Oscar is better groomed than you.

Speaker Welch and members of the press corps debate whether or not “corps” is spelled with an S. Also on the agenda - “capitalfax” or “capitolfax”?

Thank you for participating in my photo op. By the way, please leave your names on the pad of paper as you leave so I know who was here.
