Despite being found guilty in March 2008 of hitting his wife with an baseball bat during a domestic dispute in May 2007, Carpentersville Trustee Paul Humpfer will go free (receiving a $1,000 fine, and directed to undergo some counselling). Humpfer has also been directed not to have contact with his wife.
The prosecutor had asked for 60 days in jail (itself a light sentence considering the use of a dangerous weapon in the commission of domestic battery), but the Court rejected the request.
So, it seems that the little game that Humpfer and his attorney’s played with the Courts for over 7 months after his conviction, did the trick — keeping him out of jail.
(We wonder if Humpfer went and re-claimed the baseball bat from evidence.)
The following message was received from Illinois State Senator Michael Noland:
On October 29th, beginning at 7 p.m., I will be hosting a town hall meeting on education funding reform and property tax relief. All voters in the 22nd District are invited to attend. Please feel free to forward this message to everyone living in Illinois’ 22nd Legislative District you believe to be a registered voter. The event will be held at the Centre of Elgin. I am using this occasion as an opportunity to hear from voters and elected officials who represent those who live in my district on the subject of SB 2288. A bill designed, among other things, to provide property tax relief in the state of Illinois. Please see ILGA Link
Ralph Martire of the Center for Tax & Budget Accountability will be a featured guest at this event. I urge you to visit the CTBA’s website, http://www.ctbaonline.org/. Specifically, please see CTBA Presentation on the IL Economy and How it Relates to Education Funding. These two sites will provide valuable insight on the issue of education funding reform and property tax relief in the State of Illinois. As well, Elgin Mayor Ed Schock has agreed to attend and to provide his observations as a local city mayor and former U-46 school principal. Candidates for office within the 22nd District are also welcome to attend and as time permits share their views on this issue. Please let me know if you would like to be considered as a panelist for this event.
Please note: Due to seating limitations preference will be given to District 22 residents in attendance.
I hope to see you there. Please contact me with any questions you may have.
With Highest Regards,
Senator Michael Noland
Illinois State — 22nd District
