State rep candidate who fought teacher's union to keep service dog Jasper in school: 'I have to run'

MILAN – Brandi McGuire, who proved that a Labrador retriever belonged in school, aims to prove that she belongs in the Illinois Legislature.
She holds a spot on the Nov. 8 ballot for State Representative in the 72nd District, as a newcomer out to protect other families from what happened to hers.  
Court records show that a teacher with personal interest sabotaged a partnership between her daughter, Kellsey McGuire, and Jasper the dog.  
Jasper sounds an alert when Kellsey suffers an epileptic seizure.  
The teacher’s union supported the teacher, and administrators didn’t stop her.  
A hearing officer, after taking 40 hours of testimony, classified her as a bully.  
He ordered the Sherrard school board to pay Kellsey’s tuition at Catholic school.  
McGuire thinks Kellsey’s experience would make a great movie.  
“The happy ending would be when Brandi McGuire gets elected so no family ever has to go through it again,” she said.
“I want to be a voice for the community like my community was a voice for me.”  
She said people put up 800 “justice for Jasper” signs.
“I don’t have a choice. I need to run. I have to,” she said.
She won the Republican primary in May, over Jordan Thoms, with 59 percent.  
In November, voters will choose between McGuire and Democrat Mike Halpin.  
Jasper’s nature may have saved his life, for a trainer from Disability Assistance Dogs found him at a shelter in 2013.  
The trainer tested his temperament and found him suitable for service.  
After 450 hours of training, Disability Assistance Dogs matched him with Kellsey.  
At a Sherrard grade school assembly on Jan. 13, 2014, trainers introduced Jasper and explained how to interact with him while he worked.  
McGuire and others observed art teacher Hilary Plog, who owned a different dog training school, sending text messages.  
Principal Victoria Connelly asked her about the messages, according to testimony at the hearing, and Plog said she reported violations to the Justice Department.  
On Jan. 22, 2014, Plog brought a dog to her room.  
According to testimony, as Kellsey and others stood in line outside her room, Plog opened the door so abruptly that Jasper barked.  
The dog in her room barked back and kept barking after Kellsey calmed Jasper.  
According to testimony, Plog said, “That’s no way a service dog is supposed to act.”  
She told Kellsey she would not allow Jasper in the room.  
McGuire and husband Colin pulled Kellsey out of art class, but that didn’t help.  
On Jan. 24, Plog sent Connelly a message about laws Kellsey and Jasper violated.  
On Feb. 10, Plog startled Jasper and he barked.  
That evening, Connelly told McGuire she wouldn’t allow Jasper in school until after a meeting with interim superintendent Dick Stolz.  
Next day, Stolz walked Jasper around his office and introduced him to employees.  
He said he saw nothing wrong, and that Kellsey and Jasper could return.  
Later that day, Connelly told McGuire that Jasper couldn’t return after all.  
Connelly said Plog told her she would call police if he came.
McGuire put Kellsey and Jasper on the morning bus anyway.  
Connelly met them and took them inside through the farthest entrance.  
Plog spotted them and made a beeline for them.  
Connelly took Jasper’s harness and they ducked into the computer room.  
When they came out, Plog caught up and she would tell Stolz she ran from her.  
Next day, Stolz gave Connelly a statement of events that Plog and her union president had prepared.  
Connelly would testify that when she tried to confirm the events, several teachers put in writing that they didn’t witness anything.  
That night, after Kellsey suffered her third seizure in a week, her parents decided to enroll her at Jordan Catholic School.  
Connelly resigned the next day, saying she failed Kellsey.  
The school board has brought her back and promoted her, McGuire said.  
McGuire said she didn’t mind. She said, “She told the truth.”  
At the end of the school year, Plog resigned.  
McGuire then sued the Sherrard school board in federal court at Rock Island, seeking damages for physical harm and emotional distress.  
The suit gained strength when Illinois Board of Education hearing officer Michael Risen vindicated Jasper and blistered Plog.  
“The harassment resulted in such severe or pervasive environment that it altered the condition of the student’s education,” Risen wrote.   
He wrote that administrators demonstrated almost complete indifference to the hostile environment Plog created.  
He wrote that the district isolated Kellsey from friends, “when she was forced to go through alternate doors and hide out in classrooms in order to avoid her bully.”  
He noted her immediate success at Jordan.  
The school board responded to the decision by filing a suit of its own against Risen, the state board, Kellsey, and her parents.  
The board claimed that, “Plog did not provoke Jasper or make any comments to K. M. that could be considered harassment.”  
Chief District Judge James Shadid consolidated the suits.  
McGuire moved for summary judgment in July 2015, arguing that the board simply asked the court to accept Plog’s contradictory and inconsistent testimony.  
After two months the board hadn’t responded, so Shadid asked for a joint report.  
McGuire and the board told him they settled both cases.  
Then the campaign began.
“I’m a citizen candidate,” McGuire said. “I wasn’t chosen. I wasn’t supposed to be the one.”
In the weeks after voters chose her, unpleasant little events piled up.   
First, she said, she received an inquiry about the workers’ compensation record of a driver training school she runs.  
“We haven’t had a claim in 17 years,” she said.
“I filled it out and sent it back and told them the company belongs to my father and I’m a director.
“They sent him a letter and everything’s good.”  
She said a woman in Chicago sent freedom of information requests to high schools for their contracts with her driving school.  
She said she doesn’t have any.
“I don’t know what they got from it or what they’re going to do with it.”  
She said she received a summons for jury duty and waited days before finding out she didn’t have to go.  
She said someone called her landlord and said her signs on the top of the marquee violated city ordinances.
“He asked me and I said, they’ll come down after November eighth,” she said.   
She said a postal employee opened her bulk mail and read it in front of her.
“He said he had to make sure it was political. It’s legal for them to do it.”  
She said that after she left work one day, her intern photographed a woman pulling paper from her dumpster.  
She said the woman would have found copies of mailers.
“It’s too much in too short a time. It makes me want to get elected even more.”

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Fund-raising for Missouri Attorney General candidates is ramping up with a three to one advantage for the Republican looking to occupy the seat held for two terms by a Democrat. 

According to the Missouri Ethics Commission, Josh Hawley (R) currently has more than $3 million in campaign donations, while Teresa Hensley (D) has just under $1 million.

While Hawley currently has out-raised Hensley, both candidates received generous donations in August and September.

On Sept. 28, Hawley's campaign reported receiving $1 million from the Missouri Freedom PAC which has been funded by the Republican Attorneys General Association. Hawley’s campaign had previously received $1 million from the Missouri Freedom PAC on Sept. 2 and Aug. 23, and $50,000 on Aug. 4.

On Sept. 26, Hawley's campaign reported receiving $500,000 from David Humphreys, president and CEO of Joplin-based TAMKO Building Products, and another $500,000 from Sarah Atkins, Humphreys' sister. Hawley has received at least $2 million this year from Humphreys and his family. On Aug. 12 Hawley received $100,000 from Ronald Cameron, chairman of Mountaire Corp. of Little Rock, Ark.

Although trailing, Hensley’s campaign received $380,000 on Sept. 23 from 15 contributions from the Democratic Attorneys General Association, a Missouri political action committee. The largest donors were from Comcast in Philadelphia ($60,000); Visa in Austin, Texas ($50,000); and the American Association for Justice in Washington, D.C. ($50,000).

Other donors included:

• LegalShield in Ada, Oklahoma ($10,000)

• Aflac Inc. in Wynnton Road Columbus. Ga, ($25,000).

Hensley also received $115,000 from four separate donors on Aug. 30. On Aug. 12, Hensley received $200,000 from the CHIPP Political Account, a political action committee run by the Carpenters’ District Council of St. Louis & Vicinity.

Also in August Hensley received several $10,000 contributions, including from U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill; the Missouri State Council of Fire Fighters PAC in Blue Springs, Mo.; James Nutter Company in Kansas City; Redcard in St. Louis; Blitz Bardgett Deutsch in Frontenac, Mo.; and the Ironworkers Poitica Education Fund in Washington, D.C.

One $15,000 donor was the United Association Political Education Committee in Annapolis, Md.

Hensley received even bigger money in the form of several $20,000 donations, including from Simmons Hanly Controy of Alton; the Pipefitters Local Union 533 Volunteer Political Fund in Kansas City; and Emily’s List in Washington D.C.

A $25,000 contribution topped Hensley’s August donation list, from the Western Missouri and Kansas Laborers District Council PAC in Kansas City.

The Missouri Ethics Commission reports single campaign donations 48 hours after the date of the contribution.

Documentary on House Speaker Michael J. Madigan out this month

CHICAGO – A documentary detailing the life of Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan is scheduled for release this month.

A trailer for the documentary has been released by the Illinois Policy Action. The documentary entitled: “Madigan: Power, Privilege, Politics” is 60 minutes in length and will give an inside look at Madigan’s life and influence as House speaker.

““Madigan: Power, Privilege, Politics” is an educational documentary on how the political system and government work in Illinois, Kayla Weems, spokesperson for Illinois Policy Action, told the Record. “This documentary highlights the influence an officeholder can wield in the absence of term limits,” she said.

Illinois Policy Action is billing the documentary as an unprecedented look at Madigan, who is known for avoiding the media and has been the longest-serving House speaker in Illinois history as well as across the U.S.
“Speaker Madigan is notorious for avoiding media interviews and keeping out of the press,” said Weems. “Even though he is the longest-serving speaker of the House in the nation and wields great power in Illinois politics, many people do not know anything about him.”

The documentary boasts about showing viewers the influence a political figure of Madigan’s stature can have in Illinois – a state without term limits. “This documentary takes an unprecedented look at state Rep. Michael Madigan's rein as House speaker and Illinois' political system and will be eye-opening for all,” said Weems.

Madigan has a long history with Illinois, where he became a legislator in 1971. He has been speaker of the House for the state almost continuously since 1983 – except for two years during this time. Over the course of his career as House speaker, he has seen six different governors, more than 200 state senators, and more than 500 state representatives.

“The documentary will illustrate how Michael Madigan got his power and how he has kept it for 40 years,” said Weems.

For the documentary, several key interviews were held with many prominent political figures as well as media reporters. “A long list of well-respected reporters, political observers, politicians and others who are active in Illinois’ political scene were interviewed,” said Weems.

The list includes Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass, University of Illinois professor and political observer Dick Simpson, former Illinois Senate President Emil Jones, law professor and former drafter of the 1970 Illinois Constitution Ann Lousin, former state Sen. Steve Rauschenberger, Rob Blagojevich, brother of Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and political blogger Rich Miller.

Illinois residents will get an insightful view at how the state is managed and how Madigan rules with the documentary. “Between the lack of a budget, a growing pension crisis, and ever-climbing tax bills, many Illinoisans are frustrated with the corruption and cronyism in Illinois,” said Weems. “This documentary will pull back the curtain to show citizens how Illinois actually is run and who holds the power.”

The documentary will be released to the public during the second week of October. Viewers will be able to see it online as well as in select movie theaters across Illinois.

EDWARDSVILLE — A dentist is suing makers and distributors of dental restorative and cement products, citing alleged breach of express and implied warranties. 

Ricard Boatman, Jr. DMD PC, d/b/a Troy Family Dental, filed a complaint on Sept. 13 in Madison County Circuit Court against 3M Company, E4D Technologies LLC, Henry Schein Inc. and Tamela Dean, alleging that they violated the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.

According to the complaint, Boatman claims the defendants' products were used to make and seat dental crowns. However, he alleges the products failed to perform as advertised, represented and warranted.

The plaintiff alleges that he suffered financial and reputation damages because the defendants' products caused needless injury, pain, inconvenience and misery to his patients.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against the defendants, jointly and severally, for compensatory damages in excess of $1 million, costs incurred and such other relief as the court deems proper. He is represented by David S. Corwin and Bradley A. Winters of Sher Corwin Winters LLC in St. Louis.

Election Day voter registration blocked for November balloting in Illinois

CHICAGO – Election Day voter registration this November has been blocked in Illinois by a federal judge.

Judge Samuel Der-Yeghiayan of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois made the order to the Illinois State Board of Elections after the Liberty Justice Center challenged the Election Day voter registration law, claiming the process limits who has access to voter registration on Election Day.

Under the law, only precincts that have a population of 100,000 or more are required to allow voter registration the day of the election. This puts districts with low populations at a disadvantage and makes it harder for residents to register to vote, which could allegedly impact election results, the Liberty Justice Center argued.

The group claimed that the Election Day voter registration law violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment and filed a challenge to the law in August on behalf of Patrick Harlan, a candidate for Congress, and the Crawford County Republican Central Committee.

“The equal protection clause basically means all people are treated the same,” David Yepsen, director at the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, told the Record. “If you have Election Day registration as some polling places and not at others, the argument was that you are treating those people differently than people at other polling places. If you do it in heavily Democratic precincts and not in Republican ones, you could add more Democratic voters to the electorate and influence the outcome of the election.”

A court ruled that the Liberty Justice Center and its plaintiffs would likely be able to show merit as to their constitutional claim, and leaving the regulation in place for the November election would cause harm to voters in low-population areas of Illinois. This would create what the court said was a “de facto” effect of the Election Day registration law that would, if kept in place, favor urban Illinois residents over rural Illinois residents.

In addition to giving more access to some counties over others, some claim the Election Day voter registration law opens voter registration up to fraud, as it can be hard to verify a person’s identity during Election Day.

“Some officials argue same-day registration opens the election up to fraud,” said Yepsen. “They feel there's not a safe way to check they are who they are and that they live where they say they do. They also fear the added hassle at the polling places. Supporters say it makes it easier for voters in this highly mobile society and that there's no pattern of fraud in states that do same-day registration. The opponents say this is Illinois, a state with a storied history of Election Day shenanigans, problems or downright fraud.”

While the Liberty Justice Center asked the federal court to ban the law at all polling places in the November election, it suggested that the General Assembly needs to fix the legislation to make it fair for all precincts.

EDWARDSVILLE — The Illinois Department of Transportation claims Thiems Construction Co. and its insurer for allegedly failing to pay for work performed pursuant to a subcontract agreement.

The State of Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and Thomas Industrial Coatings (TIC) filed a complaint on Sept. 19 in Madison County Circuit Court against Thiems Construction and Travelers Casualty and Surety Co. of America, alleging that Thiems violated the Illinois Prompt Payment Act.

The plaintiffs allege that despite Thiems' receipt of payment from IDOT, it has allegedly failed and refused to pay plaintiff TIC.

The plaintiffs request a trial by jury and seek judgment against defendants, jointly and severally, in the amount of $343,791, plus interest and penalties, attorney's fees and costs, pre- and post-judgment interest and such other relief as the court deems just and proper. They are represented by Brian E. McGovern of McCarthy, Leonard & Kaemmerer LC in Town and Country, Missouri.

SPRINGFIELD — Christopher Bonjean will join the Illinois Supreme Court as director of the office of communications and public information. There, he will be responsible for reorganized the division charged with informing and educating Illinoisans about the judicial system.

“I am humbled and honored to have the Illinois Supreme Court justices put their faith in me,” Bonjean told the Record. “I look forward to working with schools and community groups around the state to provide programming that will inform the public about our state’s justice system.”

Expanding and emphasizing the public information office's mission became important following a survey conducted in 2015 in every courthouse in the state that included the opinions of parties, witnesses, jurors and visitors. Fourth District Appellate Justice Carol Pope, who heads the court’s strategic planning committee, led the survey efforts. Overall, the results were positive, Chief Justice Rita Garman said in a news release.

“While no serious concerns were discovered, we did learn that there was room for improvement, especially in the area of confidence in the fairness of the court system,” she said. “My colleagues and I recognized the need to strengthen our efforts to reach out to the public we serve.”

This involved reorganizing the communications office, which will implement a strategy that includes redesigning the court’s website and making better use of social media.

“A redesign of the court’s website will provide a more welcome front door for the public. Visitors to the website need to be able to quickly find the information they are looking for, and the site will be redesigned with that in mind,” Bonjean said.

Bonjean’s office will work within the Illinois Courts’ administrative office. His job will include social media, media inquiries and press releases. He will also help trial courts as they implement the court’s policy for extended media coverage of judicial proceedings. His office will coordinate with the Illinois Supreme Court’s boards and commissions, the developing Illinois Judicial College and other groups to put together educational and outreach programs.

Bonjean attended University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Columbia College in Chicago. He earned a master’s degree in nonprofit management from DePaul University. He previously worked at the Illinois State Bar Association as the director of member communications and director of the Chicago office. He worked at the Chicago Sun Times from 2000 to 2009. He said both experiences prepared him to succeed in his new post.

Prior to Bonjean’s appointment, Joseph Tybor worked as the court’s director of communications. He passed away in 2015 after a battle with cancer.

“My colleagues and I have every confidence that Chris will embrace this opportunity to put his visionary skills and experience to work on behalf of the court,” Garman said.

Ray Coleman: Accepted at White House but not in East St. Louis?

October 4, 2016, 6:41 am

To the Editor:

It’s been said, “If you can make it at home, you can make it anywhere.”

I have been testing that theory for the 33 years since coming home from Quincy (College) University in 1983 with a BA degree in Sociology.

The Christian and worldly experience I acquired during those 33 years has proven to be more valuable than my degree.

I thank the Madison Record for allowing me to write this guest editorial. The paper has been nothing but fair to me. It is with honor I share this short piece of history with your readers.

On Saturday morning September 3, 2016, my wife and I sat down to order breakfast at Cracker Barrel.

In this 21st Century it is normal for us to pick up our cell phones to check for messages, check our Facebook page, etc. Well this moment was no different until I opened one email awaiting me. it was from the White House.

The email began, “Dear Mr. Ray Coleman and guest,” then it followed with, “The President requests the pleasure of your company at the Obama Illinois Reception to be held at the White House on Friday, September 30, 2016 at Four O’clock.”

With an emotion I had to control due to my public awareness, I fought back the tears of joy, and gave my wife Cynthia the phone.

We immediately began to talk about our travel plans.

I spent a little time afterward making a couple phone calls to see how my name got on the list. My first call was to the person who introduced me to Barack Obama, Mike Pittman in Springfield, Ill., the second call was to Dan Shomon in Chicago, Barack’s former U.S. Senate campaign’s political director. It was Dan who confirmed my inquiry as to how I became a chosen one. At the same time I was asked not to broadcast the invitation.

From September 3 until September 28 I remained relatively quiet until I woke up that morning with a revelation.

I woke up thinking about how much I have been rejected by my hometown of East St. Louis and how much I have been and still remain revered by many on the periphery.

I will be the first to admit, I am a gadfly, maverick, a rock the boat kind of guy. I am not an easy guy to get along with if you are dishonest, corrupt, a leader who refuses to lead, a selfish or ineffective bureaucrat, steal from kids, steal from the government. Again, I am by no means perfect, but I try to wake up every morning wanting to do good.

Now comes September 28, I go on to Facebook wanting answers why I can’t break through as a voice of reason in my hometown.

My Facebook post read, “I have a few things that bother me. I am asking for help to answer some questions about me, and the culture in the greater East St. Louis area:”

Question 1) Why do Democrats like Bob Sprague and Mark Kern continue to get support from our African-American leaders when they have a documented history of bigotry?

Question 2) Why do so many African-Americans who know me refuse to acknowledge why I am attacked and pushed back, fired, laid off, etc. from every potential leadership position that I have held in the metro east, (even though I had a record of success) including head basketball coach at East St. Louis Sr. High School, volunteer interim Executive Director Katherine Dunham Centers for Arts and Humanities, volunteer assistant to East St. Louis Mayor Emeka Jackson-Hicks, public service administrator Illinois Department of Natural Resources?

Question 3) Why Anne Walker was left a video of Barack Obama acknowledging that I was his surrogate messenger from an event in Venice, Ill., 2004, by her late father Willie Walker, she refuses to even respond when I ask her about it (I must be honest, my brother Lee Coleman won't give me a copy either).

Question 4) Why has Washington Park Mayor Ann Rodgers retained me as her political consultant since 2008, and her governmental consultant since 2013?

Question 5) Why have I been able to garner respect around the State of Illinois and around the country by working as a deputy field organizer for President Obama in Iowa 2012, and for legendary NBA superstar Michael Jordan, at his basketball camp since 2010, but I continue to get rejection from so many leaders and grass roots organizers on the local level when they have to align with me publicly?

Please someone answer these questions, I can handle the truth.

Illinois entrepreneurs deserve the right to earn a living

Starting a small business in Illinois is more akin to running a marathon than a sprint. And the regulatory marathon Illinois entrepreneurs face is often full of roadblocks and hurdles.

Life can be especially difficult for those in industrial occupations, and for entrepreneurs looking to innovate. From start to finish, Illinois entrepreneurs are nickel-and-dimed and regulated to the edge of their business existence, leaving many investors unwilling to put investment dollars to work in Illinois.

What’s most objectionable about Illinois’ big-government approach to small business is how it squeezes the little guy. While big businesses are able to work the system, make political contributions, and get special deals, small businesses are left to fend for themselves, often in the face of a regulatory field mined with legal requirements set by politicians and cronies hostile to new competitors.

But state politicians can flip the script in favor of entrepreneurs by enacting a law to protect the right of all Illinoisans to earn an honest living. Such a measure would prevent onerous and unfair regulations that make entrepreneurs’ lives difficult without serving a public interest.

One major reason small businesses are so vulnerable is because a court will generally not strike down a law or rule that regulates business activities so long as the government shows the law or rule is “rationally related to a legitimate government interest.” In practice, it is very easy for governments to pass this “rational basis” test.

This standard does far too little to protect entrepreneurs, especially in Illinois, and Chicago in particular. Governments can write laws and rules that violate the most basic right of a person to earn a living and feed his family so long as the government can argue the law is connected to a reasonable public interest – an incredibly low legal standard that is insufficient to protect some of the most vulnerable Illinoisans. The rational basis standard should be replaced with a higher standard that restricts regulations to those that are, in the language of model legislation proposed by the Goldwater Institute,

“demonstrably necessary and carefully tailored to fulfill legitimate public health, safety, or welfare objectives.”

A prime example of how the current regulatory standard leaves entrepreneurs vulnerable is Chicago’s food truck law. Food trucks have recently been coming under fire as Chicago City Hall enforces rules and regulations designed to make it difficult to operate a food truck – rules that benefit brick-and-mortar restaurant competitors, but that lack any clear benefit for the food-buying public. The food truck law greatly restricts where food trucks can locate in the city, and gives them only a two-hour window in which to operate.

Illinois entrepreneurs need protection from such regulatory abuse, and a Right to Earn a Living Act would help. Businesses should only be subject to well-tailored regulations that serve a legitimate public health, safety or welfare purpose.

Illinois’ regulatory field hurts overall economic growth and job creation, and it also disadvantages smaller businesses compared with their larger competitors. Large, established businesses can often afford to make political contributions to aldermen to get regulations passed that thwart new competitors. And big business can also more easily absorb the cost of complying with numerous regulations, compared with fledgling enterprises.

In a state as jobs-starved as Illinois, there are few things as important as enabling Illinoisans to provide for themselves and their families. And there are few things as immoral as the government’s standing in the way of a small-business owner striving to make ends meet. Illinois lawmakers should come together on a bipartisan basis and support a statewide law that protects’ Illinoisans right to earn a living.

EDWARDSVILLE — A motorist is suing another driver, alleging the defendant's negligence caused a crash that injured the plaintiff.

Christopher M. Sexton filed lawsuit Sept. 20 in Madison County Circuit Court against Joel C. Spencer, alleging failure to exercise ordinary care in the operation of a vehicle.

According to the complaint, on Oct. 15, 2014, while Sexton was driving on Maryville Road in Maryville, Spencer's vehicle suddenly crashed into the rear of the plaintiff's car. The suit says the crash caused Sexton injuries resulting in pain and mental anguish, disfigurement, loss of earning capacity, disability and incurred medical expenses. 

The plaintiff alleges Spencer failed to maintain proper lookout, failed to timely apply his brakes and followed Sexton's vehicle too closely.

Sexton seeks trial by jury, judgment of more than $50,000, plus court costs and all other remedies the court deems appropriate. He is represented by attorney Gregory M. Tobin of Pratt & Tobin PC in East Alton.

EDWARDSVILLE — An Edwardsville student living facility is suing a buyer, alleging fraud and unfair competition.

Enclave West LLC filed a lawsuit Sept. 21 in Madison County Circuit Court against SL Enclave West Apartments Holdings LLC,  alleging violation of the Illinois Uniform and Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

Enclave West seeks trial by jury, judgment against defendant for liquidated damages not less than $2.84 million plus punitive damages of $4.56 million, attorney fees, court costs and all other relief the court deems just and proper. It is represented by attorney John W. MaCracken of Goldenberg Heller & Antognoli PC in Edwardsville.
