What’s the opposite of shadowbanning? Maxboosting? I dunno, but whatever it is, that’s what Twitter’s frustrated and exhausted engineers gave Elon Musk after he whined (for not the first time) that people might like someone more than they like Elon. By now you know the basics: last week it was reported that Elon was getting […]

EDWARDSVILLE - Madison County Judges Go To School Day Circuit Judge Amy Maher and Associate Judges Veronica Armouti and Justin Zimmerman of the Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, participated in the first annual Judges Go to School Day on Monday, February 13, 2023.

The bill was widely criticized as weakening law enforcement and for its elimination of cash bail for most offenses. In the February 17, 2021, County Board meeting, the County Board passed a resolution by a vote of 26-1, urging Governor Pritzker to veto the hastily passed legislation. Holliday spoke out in favor of the SAFE-T Act and was the lone no vote on the resolution. Holliday also opposed a recent resolution passed by the county board condemning the “assault weapons” ban legislation recently signed
