· I think we need a better title for this daily item. Suggestions, please.

· “Democrat Linda Hawker, secretary of the Illinois Senate, is running for Sangamon County clerk and hopes to take on incumbent Republican Clerk Joe Aiello in the fall.”

I’ve known Linda forever. I don’t endorse, but I do wish her well.

· Worker attacked in prison kitchen.

· 3 new judgeships eliminated.

· Not a single DeKalb County doctor accepts Medicaid patients.

· More later.

· Tollway settles big lawsuit.

· Power Point and Vikings.

· More character witnesses for Ryan trial.

· City workers wonder: What are my odds of being indicted?

· Badges for library trustees. Yep. Goofy.

· Blogger is polled, blogs about the questions.

I did not write anything down so I am doing this from memory but the reasons for voting for Mike Jacobs had to do with him being instrumental in getting funding for the WIU campus in Moline, support for the Thomson Prison, his support for education and things like that. The reasons for voting against Mike Jacobs were him “speaking before thinking” when defending the riverboat gambling industry and him saying that union workers made too much money and since he was appointed rather than elected he was beholden to the party insiders rather than to the voters.

· Richard Norton Smith apparently has very thin skin.

  7. Crestwood library badges is by far the best waste of taxpayer money of the day. Did Al Bundy actually live in Crestwood? Local boards with egos are a danger for all.
