Judicial campaign set for big money from special interests
In the Fifth District race for the Illinois Supreme Court, backers of Karmeier and Maag expect heavy financial support from business groups, medical interests, and trial lawyers. ICPR suggests up to 5 million could flow to third parties, with lawyers routing funds through the Democratic Party of Illinois to aid Maag. DPI denies designated spending, while party records show Maag campaign salaries and support.
