Guidelines for judicial ethics from the Illinois Supreme Court committee
The Illinois Supreme Court on September 29 1989 published the recommendations of the Illinois Supreme Court Committee on Judicial Ethics. The panel proposes rules on business activity disclosure compensation for non judicial service and conflicts of interest. It urges disqualification or disclosure for financial interests and outlines rules on political activity and penalties for violations to preserve judicial integrity.

Editorials Court goes part of way
The Illinois Supreme Court has taken three steps in ethics reform for judges. A special commission led to resignations, a Lindberg committee ruling blocked a legislative probe, and a new Judicial Ethics panel proposed stronger rules. It endorses bans on moonlighting and using judges’ names for fundraising while preserving sealed disclosures of income. The court plans to act again in January and should accept the recommendations, though full public disclosure remains contested and the issue persists at the constitutional convention.

The letter corrects a prior Perry County strip mining estimate from The Southern Mindisan.

It divides the county into quarters to compare southeast and southwest amounts, noting 11,720 acres (16.5 percent) in the southeast quarter and 6,280 acres (10 percent) in the southwest quarter, and questions the prior figures.

The faction contrasts state experiments with county manager systems in New York and Florida as evidence of potential benefits.
