Illinois state government was rocked last year when the utility Commonwealth Edison admitted to a bribery scheme. It even led to the downfall of long-time House Speaker Michael Madigan.

We also learn about a podcast focused on baseball's famous homerun race of 1998 - and the steroid scandal that would follow.
Those stories and more on this week's Statewide.
