Hey Chicago: Vote for Judges
Careful what you wish for. The other day, we received our voter registration cards for the upcoming Feb 2 Judicial elections in Chicago, and we were wondering Hey, who are these judges and what’s their story? Well low and behold, our friend Diana Slickman (touting a new offering of the hit show BoyGirlBoyGirl) sent a group email with the exact information I was looking for. So here’s the deal from Diana: “I encourage you to review the bar association evaluations, found at Vote For Judges. Go to the tab called Judicial Evaluations and Results and take a look at the Judicial Evaluation Results Grid (PDF). You can print the list out and take it into the voting booth. This will let you know who’s been rated as qualified or not qualified by about 7 different bar associations. For many of us, this is the only clue we have about this part of our electoral responsibility.” Thanks Diana! Everyone go vote! Sidenote: I posted this image of the Chicago flag and have always been curious as to what the stars stand for. They are: 1.) Fort Dearborn, 2.) The Great Chicago Fire of 1871, 3.) the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893, and 4.) the Century of Progress Exposition (1833-1933). So, there’s that.
