Supporters of Judge Sanjay Tailor's election bid are planning a fundraiser for their candidate on Wednesday, September 8, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., in the rooftop garden atop 161 N. Clark Street.
Co-Chairs for the event are Hon. Diane Larsen (Ret.) and Hon. Rita Novak (Ret.). Event Co-Hosts include Justice Gino L. DiVito (Ret.),Michael I Rothstein, Caesar A. Tabet, and the law firms of Figliulo & Silverman P.C. and Wise Morrissey LLC.
Tickets for the event are $125 apiece (although government or public interest attorneys can purchase tickets for a discounted price of $100). Sponsorships are also available (Bronze - $250, Silver - $400, Gold - $500, or Benefactor - $5,000). Tickets may be purchased on this page of the candidate's campaign website. For more information, or for questions about the event, email info@electjudgetailor.com.
Judge Tailor is currently Acting Presiding Judge of the Circuit Court's County Division. The Illinois Supreme Court appointed Tailor (who had been serving as an Associate Judge) to a countywide vacancy (created by the death of Judge Diane Gordon Cannon) late last year.
Does this mean he's running for a higher court?
ReplyDeleteNo, it means that he's running to keep the Circuit seat to which he is currently appointed.
ReplyDeleteOne of the great failings of the Internet is that it is nearly impossible to recognize tone or humor from the pixels on the screen. See, Poe's Law. Dr. Klumpp made what my kids would call a "Dad joke" -- rooftop fundraiser... running for a higher court -- which seemed quite clear (and amusing) to me... but not to Anon 8/23 at 9:09 a.m.
ReplyDeleteAnd I do not mean a knock of any kind against Anon. It's just the way the Internet (and, increasingly, society itself) works... or doesn't. The difference in perception probably arises from the fact that I knew who was making the comment and Anon did not.
P.S. -- for those who may actually look up Poe's law -- as far as I'm concerned, putting a smiley-face or " ;) " after a defamatory or hateful or deliberately injurious remark (as some have tried on other posts) does not render the comment humorous. IMO.
