Question of the day

Posted in:

• Illinois

* I’d heard that Michael McHaney, the Clay County judge who had given the state fits with his multiple rulings in favor of Rep. Darren Bailey (R-Xenia), had been transferred.

So, I checked with Clay County Circuit Clerk Crystal Ballard, who said judges in the circuit are on a 6-month rotation and McHaney was rotated to Effingham County.

The Effingham County Circuit Clerk’s office confirmed to me today that McHaney is now there and is handling criminal cases.

* From early July…

* The original caption…

Darren Bailey and Thomas DeVore respond to a question from a CNN reporter following their victory against Governor J.B. Pritzker in the Clay County Circuit Court Thursday afternoon.

* The Question: Your caption?
