CHICAGO (WLS) — There was new criticism Monday over campaign donations in the race for Cook County state’s attorney.
The two Democratic candidates are facing off over finances.
Cook County state’s attorney candidate Clayton Harris III and his supporters, including Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, are sounding the alarm about the amount of money his opponent, Eileen O’Neill Burke, has raised, and her source.
“When we see the million dollars put into her campaign by the extreme far right side, it lets you know her policies are attracting extremism,” Harris said.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Seven staff attorneys at the Domestic Violence Action Center have quit in recent months and tell Hawaii News Now that they all left for the same reason — because other staff were allowed to provide legal advice to clients.
