O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Illinois Attorney General candidate Stu Umholtz is in the news -- finally. Although an online search didn't find any campaign-related stories regarding Umholtz, he is making the news in his role as Tazewell State's Attorney, in a local controversy that's got it all: gambling, guns, corruption, and a no-kill dog shelter.

In his pre-Election campaign report, Umholtz reported having just $3,517.71 cash on-hand. He actually raised more in signs than he did in cash.

However, two weeks before the election, Umholtz reported $2,000 from Team Gidwitz. In case you're wondering, that $2,000 got Ron Gidwitz fourth place, with 624 votes, or 6%.

Please use this thread to report any Umholtz-related campaign activities. Or Bigfoot sightings.

Am I missing something here? Is there supposed to be something in the linked story that is embarrassing to Umholtz? Or are you actually slamming an elected official for actually doing their job instead of wasting time campaigning for an unchallenged nomination?
