A few weeks back, the Cook County Democratic Party opted to slate Assistant Public Defender Preston Jones, Jr. for the countywide Flanagan vacancy.
Today, the Illinois Supreme Court decided to appoint Jones to that same vacancy. The appointment is effective September 25 and terminates on December 3, 2018. However, if Jones' election bid is successful, December 3 will be the day on which Jones is sworn in to replace... himself.
Jones has been with the Public Defender's Office since 1994, when he received his Illinois law license. He has been a member of the Homicide Task Force in that office since 2004.

Charlie Meyerson's Chicago Public Square had this yesterday, but it's not
the first time I've been a day late... or, for that matter, a dollar short.

Great lawyer,and well deserved.
Which of the three Cook County justices picked Judge Jones?
WHY CAN'T THE PARTY DELIVER THE PETITIONS ON TJE FIRST DAY OF CIRCULATION? DO THEY EXPECT 1 OR 2 NEW VACANCIES IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO? WHAT ARE THEY PAYING $40,000 FOR?
Lazy, inept, disorganized, no ward operations, and they round table them. No secret about the later.
Those hand cramps you see the last week of November aren't from playing too much Yahtzee.
The King of Traffic Court aka Carlos Playa, has just been appointed to replace the Pariah of Traffic Court aka Richard Kook. Congrats Carlos!
If someone referred to me as the Pariah of Traffic Court they would be correct. If someone referred to me as the King of Traffic Court I would be insulted. (On the 4th Floor too long and not liking it at all. Would also like to walk in spectacular fashion but do not want to labeled a copycat) Welcome aboard Mr. Beach.
