A crusading attorney who has made a career out of fighting City Hall on behalf of pensioners and retirees is joining the crowded race for the Illinois Supreme Court.
Clint Krislov tried to stop the widely-despised parking meter deal. His marathon battle to prevent the city from abolishing its $108 million-a-year subsidy for retiree health care cost him so much time and money, he might have to close his law firm. […]
Krislov is circulating nominating petitions to gather the 5,050 signatures needed by mid-November to become the eighth candidate vying to replace retired Illinois Supreme Court Justice Charles Freeman.
Krislov will face [appointed Supreme Court Justice P. Scott Neville Jr.], as well as appellate court justices Jesse Reyes, Nathaniel Howse, Margaret McBride, Cynthia Cobbs, Sheldon Harris and lawyer Daniel Epstein.
The party is with Neville.

If he fought to the wire for retirees on principle, he would probably uphold the pension protection clause in the Illinois constitution. Sounds OK to me.

First assignment in politics was helping kick Clint off the ballot in 1996.

The Illinois Supreme Court does not need to have this guy doing further harm to the State.

If you were a fan of Pat Quinn- vote for Krislov- the two of them are nearly identical

Looking forward to reading CBA evaluations of these candidates.

Oh good, another old white guy; exactly what the ILSC needs.
