Ronnoco Coffee denies liability for woman's alleged burns at Argosy casino

$

0

Ronnoco Coffee responded last month to a Madison County personal injury suit saying that it is not at fault for burns allegedly suffered by Deborah Stinger three years ago at the Argosy casino in Alton.

Named as a third party defendant by the casino in April, Ronnoco states that any injuries Stinger may have suffered when she spilled complimentary hot coffee on her hand were not its fault.

The company, represented by David Bub and Brandon Copeland of Brown and James in Belleville, further states that the alleged injuries are the fault of Stinger and the casino.

"Plaintiff's injuries, to the extent any exist, were made worse by her own failure to mitigate," Copeland wrote.

Stinger's complaint alleges that that when she turned from a beverage area, she spilled hot coffee on her hand, allegedly causing severe burns.

She claims the defendant knew or should have known of the coffee’s extreme temperature; and that it failed to exercise ordinary care to properly prepare and maintain the brew’s degree of warmth.

Argosy Casino has previously denied liability, arguing that hot coffee is an “open and obvious condition” and its conduct was “reasonable, prudent and common in the industry and met the commonly accepted industry standards.”

Stinger is represented by Julia Kerr of Brown & Crouppen in St. Louis.

Argosy Casino is represented by Greg A. Kinney of HeplerBroom in Edwardsville.

Dental practice denies negligence; Judge denies motion to dismiss

A dentist and his practice deny negligence in a lawsuit alleging a patient went months without teeth after her implants were allegedly installed improperly.

Deborah Wilson sued Dr. Jeffrey Naylor and his practice last year in Madison County. She claims Naylor removed her teeth and installed base rods for dental implants, but that the specialist who was supposed to screw in the implants told her he could not fully complete the procedure because she had insufficient bone density that would not allow the implants and dentures to set properly.

Naylor, represented by Matthew Zittel of Neville, Richards & Wuller of Belleville, had sought to dismiss the complaint arguing that an affidavit and report from a reviewing health care professional was ambiguous for using the terms “medical” and “dental” interchangeably.

A hearing was held April 29 before Circuit Judge Barbara Crowder, who allowed plaintiff's counsel to amend the affidavit. Crowder denied the motion to dismiss.

In her lawsuit, Wilson alleges she had to endure several months without teeth and suffered tremendous pain, expense and mental anguish from her appearance.

Wilson accuses Naylor and Naylor Periodontics of negligence. She seeks more than $100,000, plus attorney’s fees, costs and other relief the court deems just.

Lloyd M. Cueto of the Law Office of Lloyd M. Cueto in Belleville represents Wilson.

The case had been assigned to Circuit Judge Dennis Ruth. Naylor moved for substitution, and the case was reassigned to Crowder.

County GOP chairman: 'I don’t know who would vote against' lower property tax rates

$

0

Madison County voters will have the opportunity to vote to lower the maximum property tax levy for county government, and county GOP chairman Chris Slusser said he thinks proponents will be able to easily convince voters.

“I don’t know who would vote against it at this point,” Slusser told the Record.

The referendum asks voters to decide whether to lower the maximum levy to support the county’s general fund from 25 cents per $100 of assessed value to 20 cents per $100. It would not affect the school property tax rate, which makes up a larger portion of a landowner’s property tax bill.

On July 6, a special county electoral board approved a petition to put the referendum on the November ballot after an investigation into the validity of the signatures that Slusser called politically motivated.

In a news release, Slusser accused opponents of the petition, including County Board Chairman Alan Dunstan, who is running for re-election as a Democrat, and Sheriff John Lakin of using scare tactics, including alleging the rate reduction would cut funding for law enforcement.

Slusser stated in the release that the decrease in property tax revenue would affect the county’s surplus, which is transferred into a fund for capital projects.

“Any cuts would come straight out of the surplus that the county board levies each year to transfer into their political slush fund, disguised as the ‘capital projects fund,’” Slusser stated. “So if any cuts to law enforcement were to occur, it would be because County Board Chairman Alan Dunstan decided to make cuts to law enforcement instead of his political slush fund.”

The petition’s supporters gathered about 10,000 signatures. Slusser said county Treasurer Kurt Prenzler, who is challenging Dunstan for the county board chairman position, deserves credit for the signatures. He said Prenzler found volunteers willing to circulate the petition and also handled paying a few people to do so, to help ensure the more than 8,000 signatures required to have the petition accepted were gathered.

Slusser said those who criticized the petition effort for using about a dozen paid circulators were being disingenuous, as large signature drives often require extra resources.

“There are always going to be paid circulators,” he said of countywide and statewide referendum efforts.

After the petition was filed, two county residents, including former Edwardsville police chief and city administrator Ben Dickmann, filed objections, alleging many of the signatures were invalid. The board ended up reviewing all of the signatures, which Slusser criticized.

"The frustrating part was the board took it upon themselves to do the dirty work for the objectors from the Democrat Party by examining all 10,000 signatures," he said.

In all, more than 1,500 signatures were invalidated by the board, but the petition still had more than the required number. Slusser said he objected to the fact that every signature was examined by staff in the county clerk’s office, which used county money.

"That added insult to injury," he said.

Belleville attorney elected to board of directors for Illinois Association of Defense Trial Counsel

Belleville attorney Denise Baker-Seal has been elected to serve a three-year term on the board of directors of the Illinois Association of Defense Trial Counsel (IDC).

Baker-Seal, who is an attorney with Brown & James PC in Belleville, was elected to the position at the IDC’s 52nd annual meeting held June 24 in Chicago.

Baker-Seal had previously served as a director at large on the IDC in 2015. In 2014, she served as the chairperson of the IDC Employment Law Committee and is currently a member of the organization’s events committee.

“This recent election is the first time I was elected,” Baker-Seal told the Record.

The previous positions were appointed.

According to its website, the IDC began in 1964 when a group of defense attorneys held a defense tactics seminar. Its mission: to “ensure civil justice with integrity, civility and professional competence.”

The website goes on to state that the IDC is dedicated to improving the judicial system and practice of law.

The IDC now has about 1,000 members throughout the state of Illinois.

As an elected member, Baker-Seal will now have the ability to vote on decisions made by the IDC, an ability she did not have as an at-large director.

“I’m excited to have been elected to this position as I believe the IDC is a fantastic organization,” Baker-Seal said.

Baker-Seal has been practicing law for 18 years. She graduated from Northeastern University School of Law in 1998. Prior to earning her law degree, she received a bachelor of arts degree from Millikin University in 1995.

In her practice at Brown & James PC, Baker-Seal focuses on employment cases and catastrophic injury cases. She represents employers and businesses including product manufacturers, truck lines and property owners.

In addition to her membership in the IDC, she also is a member of the American Bar Association, Defense Research Institute and the Illinois State Bar Association. She has bar admissions in Illinois, Missouri, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit.

Baker-Seal has lived in central Illinois her entire life. She is an arbitrator at the St. Clair County and Madison County mandatory arbitration programs. She also serves on Brown & James’ employee/personnel committee.

Additionally, Baker-Seal is the co-founder of the firm’s Fifth Friday Initiative, which helps to increase retention and promotion of women in the firm.

Recently, she also was named a Super Lawyer by Illinois Super Lawyers.

Illinoisans suffer, politicians get paid

The past year has been a rough one for many Illinoisans.

During the recent budget impasse, residents were inundated with stories of anguish throughout the state. And while a stopgap budget has answered some cries for help, the Land of Lincoln remains mired in sluggish growth, high taxes and low expectations.

But a select few Illinoisans have shielded themselves from the pain they’ve inflicted upon others: state politicians.

Despite failing to pass a balanced budget or any significant economic reforms for more than a year, state lawmakers the week of July 4 received paychecks and per diem money. This was the first check lawmakers had seen since Comptroller Leslie Munger temporarily threw lawmaker salaries into the state’s $8 billion pile of unpaid bills three months ago.

State Sen. Kimberly Lightford, D-Westchester, must have breathed a sigh of relief.

On June 30, Lightford took to the floor of the Illinois Senate to complain that the state wasn’t taking sufficient care of lawmakers such as herself.

“I’m hoping the comptroller will decide and recognize that we’re not vendors, that we’re actually employees of this body and deserve to be paid,” she said.

More than 1 million people have viewed the footage of Lightford’s tone-deaf defense of a privileged political class on Facebook. The video’s popularity speaks to Illinoisans’ sense of fairness. After the mess they’ve made, Illinois politicians are lucky to receive a paycheck at all, much less cut in line.

Illinois lawmakers earn base salaries of nearly $68,000 for what is essentially part-time work. Lightford took home more than $88,000 in 2015. She also received health care benefits worth more than $9,500, and racked up $16,000 more in taxpayer-funded pension benefits for when she retires.

In the wake of Lightford’s gaffe, the question remains: Why were lawmakers getting paid without passing a budget?

Ask House Speaker Mike Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton.

In 2014, Madigan and Cullerton rammed a bill through the General Assembly ensuring lawmakers would get paid with or without a budget. They did this by exempting lawmaker salaries, operating expenses and pay increases from the annual appropriations process. In other words, these payments became “continuing appropriations.” The bill did three things.

First, it meant that those items must be specifically prohibited to stop the money from flowing to politicians. Second, those items would not be affected by the lack of a state budget. And third, year-to-year cuts to lawmaker salaries and operating expenses would be prohibited.

Then-Gov. Pat Quinn signed off.

No other office or agency of Illinois state government has these sorts of privileges. Continuing appropriations are typically reserved for things such as pension payments, debt payments and interest payments.

Not payments to politicians.

Madigan and Cullerton’s power play serves as an important case study in political priorities. Why didn’t they extend these privileges to the groups crying out for help during the budget impasse?

Simple: State politicians knew their own bottom lines could soon be on the chopping block. So they took them off the bargaining table. If only other groups, including taxpayers, had been so lucky.

But Illinoisans aren’t just being forced to pay politicians’ salaries. They’re also bailing out political pensions. In 2017, taxpayers will contribute the equivalent of nearly $123,000 per lawmaker in pension costs alone.

The average career lawmaker’s pension totals nearly $96,000 a year, and state lawmakers can retire and start drawing pension benefits from the General Assembly Retirement System, or GARS, after as few as eight years in office.

Those who have taken full advantage of Illinois’ lack of term limits will collect 85 percent of their final salary after 20 years of service. Lawmakers elected after 2011 max out at 60 percent.

As has been the case in many matters of state governance, Illinois lawmakers have proven inept at managing their own retirements. GARS has a mere 16 cents for every dollar needed to pay out future benefits, and taxpayers are bailing it out by contributing 17 times more money than lawmakers do toward GARS.

It’s not exactly a shared sacrifice.

If state lawmakers are serious about taking action to alleviate the pain facing Illinoisans, they should start by looking in the mirror.

Members of the Illinois General Assembly should end pensions for politicians once and for all. And a pay cut would send an equally powerful message. Their job performance demands as much.

The very expensive and cynical lesson David Werner taught us

$

0

More than 100,000 Illinoisans have graduated from Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville during its nearly 60 years of operation.

As chancellor from 1998 to 2004, David Werner deserves some of the credit for the quality of education SIUE students received during that six-year period, but he deserves even more credit (or discredit) for the lesson he's taught all of us taxpayers since his retirement.

The lesson, unfortunately, already has cost a lot more than a four-year degree from the E, and we won't know the final tab until Werner enjoys an emeritus position at that Ivory Tower in the sky.

It's part of a course that could be called “How to Game the System as a State Employee and Live like a Millionaire in Retirement.”

We don't have to go to class for instruction or attend online because Werner doesn't lecture. After all, he's retired, right?

No, Werner has taught by example. He figured out how to game the system and all we have to do is study his methods, learn the obvious lessons, apply them ourselves if we were the sort of persons who did such things, and then enjoy an early retirement and a life of leisure at the expense of taxpayers – or go to an early grave worrying about how high state taxes will have to be raised to pay for all of the prodigies following in Werner's silk-slippered footsteps.

More than 92,000 Illinois state pensioners collect more than $50,000 each annually, according to a recent report from Taxpayers United of America. More than 15,000 collect more than $100,000 each every year.

Werner is one of the top 400 collectors (#76). He retired at the age of 62 and gets $252,704 in benefits yearly, which is more than the total he put into the plan. He's already collected two and a half million dollars and could eventually break five million.

Did we really need to learn such an expensive lesson? Can we get a refund?

Fundraising for judicial candidates rather modest in second quarter

$

While fundraising has yet to begin in earnest this election cycle - big money typically rolls in after Labor Day - state campaign finance reports for the second quarter show modest gains for local and regional candidates.

The campaigns of Fifth District Appellate Court candidates have raised funds from sources primarily outside of the Metro-East:

For the vacancy of Justice Bruce Stewart, who is retiring in December:

Williamson County Circuit Judge Brad Bleyer, running on the Democratic ticket, brought in $12,648 through individual contributions, transfers and loans Bleyer made to his campaign between April 1 and June 30.

This year he has raised $40,943; last year he raised $11,935 for a total of $52,878.

With the exception of $1,000 contributions from the Walton, Telken and Foster firm of Edwardsville and the Mathews law office of St. Louis made in the second quarter, all of the funds Bleyer's campaign has raised have come from southern Illinois lawyers or individuals as well as labor and trade groups.

Bleyer's opponent, Madison County Circuit Judge John Barberis, a Republican, has not yet established a fundraising committee. In his campaign for circuit judge in 2014, Barberis self-funded with approximately $5,000.

He has stated previously that he would likely have to raise funds for his appellate court campaign in order to reach voters in all 37 counties of the Fifth District.

For the vacancy of James Wexstten:

Justice James "Randy" Moore, who was appointed to fill a vacancy created by the retirement of Justice Stephen Spomer, is running on the Republican ticket. He raised $14,987 in the second quarter through contributions from individuals in southern Illinois and the Metro East and firms in St. Louis. He also loaned his campaign $1,237.

This year, he has raised $18,262; last year he raised $15,700, for a total of $33,962.

His opponent, Jefferson County Circuit Judge Jo Beth Weber, a Democrat, raised $19,877 in the second quarter.

With the exception of $2,000 contribution from the Driscoll firm in St. Louis and a $1,000 contribution from the Walton, Telken and Foster firm of Edwardsville, all of the funds given to Weber's campaign have come from southern Illinois individuals and labor or trade groups. Loans totaling $6,624 also were made to Weber's campaign in the second quarter.

Through June 30, the Weber campaign had raised $24,545; last year she raised $44,616 for a total of $69,161 so far.

By contrast, one of the most hard-fought appellate court contests ever, which pit Democrat Judy Cates against Republican Stephen McGlynn in 2012, cost more than three quarters of a million dollars.

Cates, who won the election, outraised McGlynn by a margin of approximately three to one. In total for that year, she raised $587,201 to McGlynn's $199,974.

However, both candidates at mid year in 2012 had raised amounts more in line with what 2016 candidates have so far raised - Cates had raised $105,455 to McGlynn's $23,962.

Twentieth Judicial Circuit

The campaign committees of three Democratic circuit judges making controversial bids for election - John Baricevic, Robert LeChien and Robert Haida - did not accept any individual contributions in the second quarter.

However, the Edwardsville asbestos firm Gori Julian contributed $2,000 to LeChien on July 12. Contributions exceeding $1,000 are required to be reported to the state board of elections within days of their receipt.

The sitting judges have each loaned funds to their committees - Baricevic, $20,000; Haida, $10,000 and LeChien, $2,400.

Belleville attorney Ronald Duebbert, a Republican who will face Baricevic in the November election, loaned his committee $7,500 in April.

East St. Louis attorney Laninya Cason, a Republican who will face LeChien in November, has not established a campaign finance committee.

Baricevic, Haida and LeChien announced their resignations last year, effective this December, and declared they would run in the Democrat primary in March, as if they were first time candidates.

Their candidacies have been challenged at the State Board of Elections and in court. Parties to the challenge await a decision from the Fourth District Appellate Court which heard oral arguments in June. Rulings have so far gone in favor of the judges.

Third Judicial Circuit

Madison County Circuit judges William Mudge and Andreas Matoesian, who are running for retention, did not raise any funds in the second quarter.

In fact, Matoesian, who is the longest-serving judge in the state of Illinois, has not formed a campaign finance committee.

Mudge's committee was active in the fourth quarter of 2015, having accepted $38,925 in individual contributions and transfers. Most of his itemized contributions came from attorneys or firms in Madison and St. Clair counties.

The Rule of Law is on life support; chaos and tyranny await at bedside

President Obama described the recent police officer ambush in Baton Rouge as an attack upon “the rule of law.” Indeed, it was. Yet, such anarchy is a predictable consequence in a nation whose leaders disrespect “the rule of law” on a regular basis, especially so when that nation is a constitutional republic.

You have often heard we are a “nation of laws and not of men.” The words are attributable to John Adams and, while the concept can be found in ancient Greek culture, humankind didn’t take it for a meaningful spin until our Constitution was ratified in 1788. Otherwise known as “The Rule of Law,” it has enjoyed a very good ride, paid for by the lifeblood of over 1.3 million of our military. What is it and how much is it worth to us, the beneficiaries of their sacrifice?

For thousands of years prior to our founding, humanity had lived under the rule of kings of one sort or another, but our Founders initiated a new experiment whereby people would attempt to rule themselves “under law.”

“The maxim states that men should not be trusted to rule others unless their rule is tempered by fixed laws that prevent tyranny, laws that prevent individuals from accumulating wealth by force, laws that prevent those in high office from exercising power over the populace without restraint, laws that prevent the majority from acting without a due regard for the rights and well-being of individuals, laws that prevent the powerful from plundering the weak.” Illinois State University.

Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis (Democrat and early leader of the progressive movement in America) said: “Our government...teaches the whole people by its example...If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” Olmstead v. United States (1928).

Fast and Furious…IRS targeting of conservatives…IRS destruction of evidence in the midst of an investigation…Veterans’ Administration fabrication of evidence…Benghazi…Eric Holder perjury…GSA Las Vegas extravaganzas…Solyndra…New Black Panthers…release of convicted violent illegal aliens…then there is Hillary (private servers, destruction of evidence, lying to Congress and the FBI, extremely careless actions putting our nation and people at risk).

And I almost forgot Comey and Lynch. No accountability for anything on the foregoing short list, all pointing to a complete disregard for the Rule of Law. I have never seen anything like this in my lifetime and I am not at all surprised at the levels of chaos and anarchy occurring in our land, most all of which is directly or indirectly attributable to contempt for the Rule of Law in the highest places.

When President Obama cannot persuade Congress to legislate according to his dictates, he takes his pen and does it for them. Obamacare doesn’t come close to resembling the legislation actually passed by Congress. His “amendments” are too numerous to mention, but exempting his friends are examples that come to mind.

But all of the foregoing involve some level of intentional wrongdoing, negligence and/or dishonesty. Ironically, the primary motivation for this op-ed piece was born out of an act of honesty that seems to have evaded national attention.

I speak of the comments prepared for Slate.com last month by Judge Richard A. Posner. At age 77 he is now in his 35th year on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School. Yes, that is the same law school where President Obama claims to have been a constitutional law professor.

Sitting Judge Posner said: “I see absolutely no value to a judge of spending decades, years, months, weeks, day, hours, minutes, or seconds studying the Constitution, the history of its enactment, its amendments, and its implementation…” He doesn’t feel the Constitution is relevant today.

Time and space do not permit a discussion of why he is completely off base as to his conclusion, but however appropriate such a conclusion may be argued by a retired judge or practicing law professor, it is unforgivable as a sitting judge.

After being criticized by some, Judge Posner attempted to walk his comments back. He suggested that discrediting the Constitution was not his intention and that unfortunately some had “focused on language I used that could be read as suggesting that I don’t think the Constitution has any role to play in interpreting the law – that it should be forgotten…” Precisely. While it may well be unfortunate if he used words he did not intend, there is no walking back the words he, in fact, used.

At a minimum, prior to taking office as a federal judge, Richard A. Posner had to take an Article VI oath – a solemn promise regarding future action – “to support” the Constitution. Had he failed to do so after being confirmed for the job, he could not have legally (“constitutionally”) donned a robe. He either lied when he took his oath or he has changed his mind over the years. Assuming the latter, I more than appreciate his honesty. Now, in order to maintain the integrity that honesty demands, he should voluntarily resign.

If resignation is not forthcoming, then I call upon the House of Representatives to bring charges of impeachment against Judge Posner in accordance with that nasty Constitution he so self-righteously disdains. Some “legal scholars” indicate that such a notion is silly – that disregarding one’s oath to support the nation’s supreme law of the land isn’t important enough to disqualify a sitting judge, even though the failure to initially take the oath would have so disqualified him. Article III states that federal judges hold office during “good behaviour,” implying their appointment is for life (i.e., until death or retirement or impeachment for “bad” behavior terminates it). I cannot imagine a more justifiable cause for impeachment.

Of course, I neither expect Judge Posner to resign nor to be impeached. The wisdom of the Framers was in crafting a balance of power that would best ensure the pursuit of happiness for a free people. The Constitution is not outdated. It has not failed us. We have failed to insist that our government live within its constraints – within The Rule of Law. Judge Posner’s comments are a direct, clear refutation of his solemn oath to support The Rule of Law, the supreme law of the land, our Constitution.

At a speech in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 1856, Abraham Lincoln said: “Don’t interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the safeguard of our liberties.” Not that there aren’t some needed changes for today, but Article V provides the method for such changes. Disregarding it is not an option.

In 1969, the then President of the American Bar Association, William T. Gossett, said: “The rule of law can be wiped out in one misguided, however well-intentioned generation. And if that should happen, it could take a century of striving and ordeal to restore it, and then only at the cost of the lives of many good men and women.”

And, Supreme Court Justice Tom Clark (Democrat and former Attorney General) said: “Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence.” Mapp v. Ohio (1961).

I believe we are experiencing the very destruction Justice Clark portended because we have permitted the Rule of Men to prevail over the Rule of Law. When the people of a nation witness their leaders go unpunished for violating the rule of law or for keeping their powerful positions as judges in spite of openly admitting they can no longer abide by their oath to support the charter of a nation, “the people” start believing they can take the law into their own hands. We have watched freedom go up in flames because far too many value free telephones, free contraceptives – free anything - more than freedom itself which apparently can be sold at a very cheap price, or so it seems.

Republican Congressional Committee urges Baricevic to return $37,600 in questionable contributions

WASHINGTON – The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) wants District 12 congressional candidate C.J. Baricevic to give back more than $37,000 in campaign contributions that were allegedly made as part of an illegal “straw man” scheme. 

A complaint was filed in June with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) by campaign watchdog group Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, alleging that employees from the Swansea law office of Tom Keefe Jr., including several employees from the clerical staff at the firm, made $37,600 in contributions to Baricevic’s campaign in one day. 

“When clerical staff from the same law firm are giving thousands of dollars on the same day, voters are right to wonder exactly what is going on,” NRCC spokesman Zach Hunter told the Record. 

The complaint said the firm’s partners allegedly reimbursed six of the employees for their contributions. 

Previous reports also alleged that Baricevic’s campaign received significant donations from lawyers who practice in the jurisdiction of St. Clair County Circuit Judge John Baricevic, who is C.J. Baricevic’s father. 

“The facts as we know them raise significant questions about the legality of many donations to Baricevic’s campaign,” Hunter said. 

In perhaps the most famous such scheme uncovered in recent years, political figure D’nesh D’souza was indicted and pleaded guilty in 2014 to making “straw man” donations. D'Souza was known for releasing a documentary entitled “2016: Obama’s America,” which was based on his 2010 book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage.” 

In January 2014, D'souza was indicted on charges of making illegal political contributions to a 2012 Senate campaign, which is a felony. He pleaded guilty on May 20, 2014 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to using “straw donors” to make illegal political campaign donations. D’Souza was sentenced to eight months in a halfway house, five years probation, and a $30,000 fine. 

“Baricevic needs to be transparent with voters about who is giving to his campaign and return the tens of thousands of dollars of questionable donations,” Hunter said. 

As part of the complaint filed against Baricevic, foundation executive director Matthew Whitaker said contributions cannot be legally made in the name of someone who is not actually funding the contribution. 

The foundation’s complaint asks the FEC to penalize Keefe, Thomas Keefe III and Samantha Unsell for their roles in the allegedly questionable contributions, and to penalize Baricevic and campaign treasurer Ann Barnum. 

The Keefe employees that were reimbursed for their contributions were identified in the complaint as secretaries Debra Eastridge, Ashley Meuren and Madonna Schutzenhofer, legal assistants Jill Harres and Lisa Wierciak, and receptionist Jan Harding. Whitaker said similar administrative positions in Illinois pay an average of $31,000 per year. Each of the six employees allegedly contributed the maximum $2,700 allowable to Baricevic’s campaign. 

In all, Whitaker said Baricevic’s congressional campaign has collected more than $246,000 in contributions from members of the legal community, most of which had cases heard by Judge Baricevic. 

C.J.Baricevic, a Democrat from Belleville, is challenging freshman Republican Mike Bost of Carbondale, in the November election. 

Worker trying to monitor dangerous events in Ferguson claims he was fired on false pretenses

EDWARDSVILLE — A Madison County man is suing a former employer and an investigator, alleging he was fired without legal reason.

Christopher Rhodes filed a lawsuit July 5 in Madison County Circuit Court against Shop-N-Save Warehouse Foods and James Ishum, alleging violation of the Whistleblower Act.

According to the complaint, Rhodes has suffered lost of wages, benefits of full employment, loss of enjoyment of life, embarrassment, inconvenience and humiliation after his termination by Shop-N-Save. The plaintiff alleges the defendants unlawfully retaliated against him for disclosing information to the Belleville Police Department regarding an assault on Rhodes by a man who later was arrested on suspicion of retail theft and aggravated battery. 

The suit says Rhodes was suspended for having a laptop on company property. The plaintiff alleges the laptop was used with permission from his supervisors for him to monitor the dangerous situation around defendant's property in nearby Ferguson, Mo. Two weeks after his suspension, the lawsuit states, Rhodes was fired during a time when the area was convulsed by the riots in Ferguson.

Rhodes seeks a trial by jury, judgment of more than $50,000, attorney fees, legal costs and other remedies as afforded by law. He is represented by attorneys Ferne P. Wolf amd Joshua Pierson of Sowers & Wolf LLC in St. Louis and Jane Unsell and Erin M. Phillips of Unsell, Schattnik & Phillips in Wood River.
