Just when you think the State of Illinois couldn’t possibly get more corrupt, I learn of a new case.

Here are the facts.

Last week a child was born to two unmarried parents.  The father is a vet honorably discharged who is just getting back on his feet after being kicked out of his mother’s home in Probate when his mother was recently guardianized. He was her long term caretaker.

But last week, something great happened.  He became the father of a beautiful health baby boy.  He lived with the mother during the pregnancy and supported her and tried to get along with her.  But from time to time she would disappear for a few days, sometimes saying she needed a break, sometimes she would provide a myriad of excuses.  No problem, he would just take care of her while she was at home with him.

He has an apartment…

I had a question today about proper legal citations and where to find the rules for that.

Cornell University has published an online guide for this which can be found at:

A federal judge on Tuesday sent the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission back to the drawing board on regulations for increasingly popular workplace wellness programs, ruling in part that the agency failed to justify its 30 percent cap on cost incentives for participating workers.

AARP challenged the rule in October, arguing it would allow employers to illegally access private health information and potentially use that data in a discriminatory manner. The AARP, which lobbies on behalf of nearly 38 million people age 50 and older, also alleged the 30 percent limit on health care cost incentives was too high of a penalty for nonparticipating…

This morning, GG tells me he spent 45 min. trying to upload a document on the new Illinois Court of Appeals Website.

So he called the help desk and they told him one of the portals doesn’t work and they forgot to take it down but another one does work.

So here is the correct URL if you are filing something:

from Odessey tech support:
the e-filing website has changed
the old one is not supported anymore and has errors

use https://illinois.tylerhost.net/OfsWeb/   to access their current website

I just checked AND MY PHONE NUMBER was on the list.

I have no doubt that I receive dozens of these stupid robo calls per week or month.

Go to https://www.rmgtcpasettlement.com/Landing.aspx and put in your cell phone, work phone (if you own a business like I do) and home phone.

See if you are eligible to get $300 per phone call or up to $900 if you received 3 or more phone calls.

I know many of you hate attorneys, but don’t let that stop you. Every once in a while the little guys with no clout win just a teeny tiny bit.
