June 9, 2009

After reading about the June 8. 2009 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court which  ruled for the first time that excessive campaign contributions to a judge creates an unconstitutional threat to a fair trial, a decision that could have a nationwide impact on whether judges must recuse themselves in cases involving their political benefactors, we decided to research if anyone who stands to benefit from the proposed garbage dump had donated to any of the three Appellate Court judges who ruled in favor of the second dump application.  Here is what we found.  ( Note:  For details on the history of how this proposed garbage dump gained life through a second application with the election of former governor Blagojevich to his first term,  click here.)
