Are there any judges who need to be voted in or voted out in this election cycle?
That would be the only incentive to get me to the polls this time around.
Both of the candidates for governor are depressing -- and so many other candidates are running unopposed.
In the ongoing struggle between plutocracy and public interest, Rauner certainly appears more loyal to his class than Pritzker.
Pritzker's alignment with the public service unions, however, does not especially benefit the public. And every time I see his picture pop up on my screen, I'm reminded of just how much he's spending to get elected. Yet his endorsement of Berrios in the primary does not suggest that his self-funding will make him independent.
All the judges who are running for RETENTION on the Cook County Circuit Court (#205 through #326) are qualified or highly qualified EXCEPT for the following who were not recommended by one or more of the Bar Associations: Kathy M. Flanagan Vote 206 for No. Maura Slattery Boyle Vote 228 for No Matthew E. Coghlan Vote 232 for No. Lionel Jean-Baptiste Vote 284 for No. Lisa Ann Marino Vote 314 for No.
You will be voting in only one Sub-Circuit. All of the judges who are running for a Sub-Circuit seat are qualified, EXCEPT for the following who were not recommended by one or two of the Bar Associations: : Do not vote for Linda Perez (6th Sub-Circuit) instead Vote for 152 Kent Delgado Do not vote for Shannon P. O’Malley (13th) instead Vote for 154 Michael Perry Gerber Do not vote for Beatriz A. Frausto-Sandoval (14th) instead Vote for 151 Marina E. Ammendola Do not vote for Karla Marie Fiaoni (15th) instead Vote for 153 Michael B. Barrett

pensions go away --
but I'd like to see him try.
So he's got my vote.
