What more do you need to know?
I’ve heard this hearing officer is a really good person and will give a fair ruling. The problem is that I don’t know that this ruling will matter at all because no matter what it is, the losing side will not be happy, and the situation will be appealed to a higher court.
I’ve heard some Chicago talk show hosts repeating what they hear from the elites and political class in Chicago - and they see Rahm-bo as a done-deal. There are fundraising efforts going on already, major contributors lined up, all the jockeying for power and special interests who were at the top of the Daley pyramid are strongly behing Rahm. So it is REALLY going to piss ‘em off if the great unwashed masses actually have a say in this matter!
Regardless of the initial decision, it will go to the full Election Board, then Circuit Court, Appeals Court and the IL Supreme Court before it’s over, according to the movers and shakers on BOTH sides. Popcorn will be in short supply through February...
When the “mob” speaks, someone’s supposed to listen dammit!
Rahm is nervous about this and I am too!
I live in fallout zone #2, having a livable Chicago is good for me!
Those facts are enough for an amicus curiae filing to need be set aside, at least in California. (ok, the case is in Illinois, so sue me...)
