The Herald presents its annual awards naming Alderman Claude Holman for drug rehabilitation leadership and listing humorous honors for many community figures from Lake Village developer Jared Shlaes to Professor Julian Levi and Abner Mikva, finishing with New Year wishes.
Governor-elect Dan Walker fills sensitive administration roles with State Rep. Anthony Scariano and Congressman Abner Mikva. The picks align with campaign promises and reward Chicago area independents who backed Walker, signaling both political rewards and ongoing governance challenges in Illinois.
The Walker administration rewards core followers by appointing Scariano and Mikva to key posts. Mikva heads a new ethics board enforcing a broad state employee disclosure order while Scariano chairs the Racing Board to tackle Walker's pledge to end racetrack politics. Both names aid the independents' coalition and consolidate influence.
The governor elect Steve Walker taps Scariano and Mikva, independents rejected by voters, linking him to left wing Democrats. Supporters say appointments restore credibility. critics warn of voter backlash if the liberal picks misfire.
