Gordy Hulten is in the news again, this time to take over for Mark Sheldon as Champaign County Clerk.
Sheldon was one of the few to raise concerns about some of the hanky-panky over there at the U of ILL and in Champaign by Clouter Mike Frerichs, who along with Fox/Atkins, Avijit Ghosh, and BJ White gets his wife a clout job in the business park. And there was John Cullerton, who gets family members of Tony Rezko into the U of Clout with the help of Richard Herman and (again) BJ White. We only hope that Mr. Hulten will serve the people of ILL as well as his predecessor and not resort to political shenanigans as those mentioned above did.
So for the second time, we wish Mr. Hulten the best (though we do miss his blog, which is now, for all intents and purposes, defunct. And its spiritual successor, "Halfway-Interesting"-is just that).

Another Teacher Molester in ILL
Reports the Chicago Tribune today, Plainfield North High School gym teacher Ashley Blumenshine was arrested after police approached a Kohl's store where she and a student were having sex Tuesday night.
Bizarrely, although she has admitted to the sexual acts, she will plead not guilty.
As many of the commentators of the Tribune have already pointed out, the fact that she faces a mere three-to-seven years imprisonment seems utterly absurd. Nearby the U of ILL in Urbana, Jon A. White has received forty-eight (an additional twelve for students abused in normal). Granted, Blumenshine ostensibly only stands charged for one count whereas White was found guilty of eight. Nevertheless, we share the posters expectation that "three-to-seven years" will be more to the tune of "three-to-seven months."
Unsurprisingly, there is no comment from the IFT, nor the IEA. A search made by we Hounds can find her in no listing for either affiliation.
[[Update 1-6-11]] The Tribune now states that Blumenshine has posted $75,000 bond. After the recent strings of exposes on the blight of the supposedly-underpaid educator, one must wonder where she retrieved such an amount (easily above the average ILL citizen salary (before taxes) so quickly?
