Zak Garner-purkis, Forbes, 12 Aug. 2022 The windfall is the result of both Madigan’s 50-plus years in the House and an often-beneficial state pension formula for lawmakers that Madigan himself helped push through. Jason Meisner, Chicago Tribune, 3 Aug. 2022 With inflation and interest rates up and the U.S. economy shrinking, a sudden windfall can be a welcome relief. Michelle Singletary, Washington Post, 29 July 2022 The windfall is all the more surprising because this isn’t Mr. Ackman’s usual terrain. Liz Hoffman, WSJ, 31 Jan. 2022 Italy, Spain, and the U.K. have placed a windfall tax on oil and gas companies profiting from the increase in energy prices, to help their citizens pay their bills.
