Candidate Forum for Champaign County State’s Attorney
There will be a candidate’s forum for the office of Champaign County State’s Attorney this Wednesday, January 30, 2008. The forum will be held at 6:00pm in the University of Illinois Law School Auditorum, which is located at 504 E. Pennsylvania Ave. in Champaign.
All three candidates currently running in the February 5th primary are scheduled to attend. These include:
- Alfred Ivy
- Janie Miller-Jones
Ivy & Rietz are running against each other in the Democratic primary. The winner will face Republican Miller-Jones in the November 4th general election. Julia Rietz currently holds the office of State’s Attorney for Champaign County.
This candidate’s forum is sponsored by the University of Illinois Law School Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
My opinion is that would be more appropiate to challenge the position but unfortunately there are some certain issues that can’t be settled at the current time.
