* Sun-Times…
Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon is likely to announce a run for Comptroller next week, a source will knowledge of the decision told the Sun-Times.
Simon is shifting gears after Illinois Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan’s announcement that she would not vacate her position after all. Simon had been eyeing the AG’s spot when Lisa Madigan said she’d be interested in a possible run for governor.
I polled this race a while ago. Despite this being a Democratic state, she trailed Comptroller Topinka by seven points.
