Senator Iris Martinez and Board of Review Commissioner Mike Cabonargi both want to run against Dorothy Brown for Clerk of the Cook County Circuit Court

I don’t see either of them beating her. She has achieved Ed Burke status.

-She has achieved Ed Burke status-

They haven’t indicted her yet. /s

We were at the wonderful winning Sox game last night. The weather was great, the stands were crowded for a change, and there was a lot of interaction and energy. The subject of the new gas tax came up from somebody who had had a few brews and people-total strangers- three and four rows away- were joining in to complain about the tax. (Not the Yankee fans because they had other issues to contend with.) But I don’t think all the unhappy conversationalists are IPI and Kass readers. The hefty amount of the tax increase and its regressive nature is going to turn out to be a big problem for the governor I think.
