It’s not a giant leap from a baseball bat to a golf club …
A 34-year-old Carpentersville man was arrested early Tuesday on charges he beat his wife with his fists and a golf club…
… and it seems he used “the Paul Humpfer defense” too …
…Martinez told officers he suspected his wife was unfaithful…
If there is one highlight in this whole disgusting situation, it’s this:
Circuit Court Judge John A. Noverini set bail even higher [than the $500,000 asked for by the Assistant Kane County State's Attorney], at $750,000, meaning Martinez will need to post $75,000 to go free.
The following is a press release from Robert Lee, announcing his candidacy for District 300 school board. It is posted here for the benefit of the community and does not represent any official endorsement at this time. For more information, visit the campaign website: http://www.robertwadelee.com
ROBERT LEE ANNOUNCES CAMPAIGN FOR DISTRICT 300 SCHOOL BOARD
EAST DUNDEE – Robert Lee, a member of the District 300 Community Finance Committee (CFC) and resident of East Dundee, announced his campaign for the District 300 School Board.
“District 300 is a fundamental part of my community. I’ve had the privilege to be part of D300 with the Policy Committee and CFC. Now, I hope that my neighbors give me a chance to serve them further on the Board of Education,” Lee said.
Petitioning for the April 7, 2009 consolidated election began on October 29, 2008, with the goal of each candidate for the Board of Education to collect at least fifty valid signatures. Lee feels that should not be a problem for him considering his involvement with some of the District’s committees.
“I have been exposed to the finances of the school district and the policies that govern the district’s activities. Also, I worked with other members of the community to develop ways to improve the district’s communication activities. That exposure has given me insight into what the board must do to establish a strong district for current and future students to enjoy. We still face significant issues regarding our budgeting process, program evaluation, and curriculum that must be resolved, though.”
Robert notes that since the referendum, non-capital expenditures have outpaced incoming revenues. He continues that another referendum will not be necessary if the school district begins to implement policies that control reckless spending. Additionally, he notes that district safety issues are important for the future of the school district, and wishes to see the curriculum improve in a way that develops students who take personal responsibility in their education seriously.
“I’m running because my community is important to me. East Dundee and District 300 are my home, and will be for a long time. I want to make sure District 300 is a source of pride for students, parents, families, and taxpayers are proud in.”
