Bob Oglesby, who picked up nominating petitions for County Board, was the first person to pick up candidate nominating petitions on Tuesday.
Sept. 6 is the first day for possible candidates to circulate nominating petitions for the March 2012 primary. On the ballot in Saline County are coroner, state's attorney, circuit clerk, county board and precinct committeemen.
Eric Fodor covered local politics and the court system since 2001 for the Daily Register/Daily Journal -- until he recently became an employee of Saline County. Before that, he dipped his toe in the water in Carrier Mills village politics, first as a village board member, then as mayor from 1996-1998. He then came to his senses and went back to college before joining the newspaper. While no longer an employee of the newspaper, he has indicated he intends to continue blogging from time-to-time.
