Starting today and continuing tomorrow, August 24th and 25th, McHenry County Judge Michael Chmiel will appear before the Illinois Courts Commission to answer charges that he provided favoritism for campaign supporter Algonquin Township Road Commissioner Bob Miller’s brother.

Actions against Illinois judges like this doesn’t happen very often.
