Democrats slate Hamilton, Hanlon in 12th Subcircuit

Democratic Committeemen in Cook County's 12th Judicial Subcircuit have voted to endorse Judge Carrie E. Hamilton for the Tristano vacancy and James E. Hanlon, Jr. for the "A" vacancy in that subcircuit.

Judge Hamilton currently holds the Tristano vacancy pursuant to appointment by the Illinois Supreme Court. Hanlon was a candidate for the Jordan vacancy in the 12th Subcircuit in 2014.

According to an email provided to FWIW from Northfield Township Committeeman Mike Kreloff, should an additional vacancy open up in the 12th Subcircuit in time for the 2016 Primary, Louis Apostol would be "strongly considered" for endorsement -- assuming he does not run, or circulate petitions to run, against Hamilton or Hanlon. Ralph Meczyk also appeared before the 12th Subcircuit Committeemen, according to Kreloff's email.

Jim Hanlon is a fine and honorable attorney. It is nice to see him finally get his due from the party. If he wins, I am sure he will make his predecessor, Vacancy "A", proud.

Good luck, Jim.

OK, that one made me laugh.

Oh come on Jack, the "fish boil" stuff was pretty solid and E.P.'s dialogues have been stellar. You have Buddy and Sally helping you write your stuff now.

PS: E.P. seems to be missing lately. I hope M. Yak Noswad isn't holding him/her captive.

I'm not sure which one was the "fish boil," but I agree with you, Anon, there have been a number of pretty good, entertaining comments of late.

Hello.
I took a little time off to celebrate my birthday and it's nice to know I was missed. You can read my latest comment in the "Richard Cooke" posting dated September 9th. I will say it was very interesting to read all the other comments in the blog. I've said it before and I'll say it again; I love this bolg.
As always, E.P.
