Kenneally Schedules Fund Raiser on Tuesday, Jan. 26th — 3 Comments

  1. You can find out all about the workings of his opponent Dan Regna here: http://www.mchenrycountysecrets.com

    The story is lengthy, but here are the guts of the story;

    ”In the meantime, (defense attorney Barbara) Cahn said, the prosecuting attorney withheld evidence – including cassette and videotapes of (Marquis) Barnes’ police interviews – in order to thwart the defense.

    “She said prosecutor Daniel Regna lied to her, saying Barnes’ interviews were never taped.

    “’We came to the trial date and, lo and behold, appears from out of the sky five hours of videotape, a 911 tape and a tape with a snitch talking to police,’ Cahn said.”

    Turns out, the article continues, “she and Barnes noticed the tapes had been altered. With key testimony dubbed over or completely removed, including parts where Barnes denied having committed the crimes and where police refused him the right to talk to an attorney.”

  2. gettaclue,

    Unfortunately the the link on the illinoiances blog with detailed info did not work for me.

    Until I see information that is not opinion or “cherry picked”, I will consider Regna as a contender for my vote.

  3. Can someone honestly tell me what difference it makes who gets elected?

    Both promise to be “tough on crime,” for whatever worth that slogan is.

    Neither has said what his enforcement priorities would be if elected, but I would wager that both would say (in exact order):

    1. violent crime,

    2. domestic violence (have to appease the Turning Point crazies),

    3. drunk driving (have to appease the MADD crazies),

    4. crimes against local businesses (have to appease the checkbooks), and

    5. everything else (sorry, John Q. Citizen, but you’re sitting at the back of the bus).

    Both are experienced attorneys.

    But, the fact that both are experienced attorneys doesn’t matter.

    It really doesn’t.

    The odds of either candidate ever stepping in a courtroom (short of being sued or subpoenaed) are approximately zero.

    The office is so large that managing the office is a full-time job.

    Even if either wanted to dabble in the courts, it’s just not practical to do at a high level with the managerial responsibilities.

    Has either of them ever managed employees?

    Made staffing decisions?

    Allocated scarce resources?

    Will either of them make political hires?

    Will either of them make nepotistic hires (I’m looking at you, Regna, considering your wife used to work at MCSAO)?

    Will either of them control costs?

    Does either of them have any fresh ideas for the office?

    Aren’t those the important questions we should be asking?

    No one has asked them yet, and neither candidate has volunteered that information.
