Correction on candidate occupations in Star questionnaire
The Star corrects Oct 20 reporting on School District 159 Board candidate Victoria Prainito. Prainito, running for a two year term, works part time as a paralegal with McDermott and McDermott Ltd in Matteson and is not a lawyer. Her questionnaire listed mixed occupations and misspelled details, while stating she earned a paralegal certificate from John Marshall. In a separate item, Judith Lohr was incorrectly stated as unopposed for Rich Township District 227. Don Passmore opposes her. The Star apologizes for the errors.
