From the Daily Herald:
Wright said Burris rejects Madigan’s written opinion to state lawmakers permitting a special election. Burris served as Illinois attorney general from 1991 to 1995.
Madigan indicated Friday she disputes Burris’ interpretation.
“The legal analysis in his letter does not apply to the current circumstances,” Madigan said through a spokeswoman.
In that letter, Burris’ attorney all but threatened a lawsuit if lawmakers try to remove Burris.
