Holiday Support - Don't Forget AFSCME Members on Strike
The time of the year from November to the end of December seems like an endless holiday stretch, with parties, shopping, gift exchanges, and other festive events. This season is usually filled with smiles, laughter, and good cheer with friends and family making memories that will last a lifetime.
But the holidays may also come with less positive emotions. For families facing various challenges, this time of year is a painful reminder of their current struggles. It is critical not to ignore the charitable spirit of the holidays and incorporate these families into our holiday giving. AFSCME Families on Strike
In is in that vein that our team of attorneys in Joliet at the Law Offices of Tedone and Morton, P.C. are proud to hold a holiday drive in support of local AFSCME members on strike this year.
We urge all Will County residents to keep in mind that nearly 1,000 working members of the AFSCME Local 1028 are on strike this season. Being off the clock and without a paycheck is a tough proposition any time of the year, but the consequences are particularly painful during the holiday season. These employees and their families are making many sacrifices in the name of fair pay and affordable healthcare. It is important that we affirm our own commitment to those principles by helping these members during the holidays. The Charity Drive
Killer Makes Plea Deal to Get Out in 4 Years for Teen's Death
The 29-year-old gunman pleaded to a reduced charge that could see him released from prison in less than four years.
A plea deal struck Tuesday in Will County Court could spring a killer from prison in less than four years.
Marcos Camargo, 29, copped to second degree murder and agreed to take a 14-year prison sentence.
But Camargo can get out in half that with good time credit, said his attorney, Cosmo Tedone. And Camargo has already served more than three of those seven years in the Will County jailwhile waiting for his case to play out.
"I just think this is a fair disposition based on the facts of the case, the witnesses, their being no forensic evidence, and the fact that somebody did die," Tedone said.
"Even though my client has maintained his innocence all along, this is a fair disposition," said Tedone, who along with attorney Charles Bretz represented Camargo.
