According to the Danny Spirn (otherwise known as the Critical Badger), Ald. Eli Judge will not be running for re-election for his City Council seat, which he was elected to during the Spring of 2007. Spirn, has yet to discuss the implications of Judge’s departure from the Council, but that should be expected in the coming days. Judge has without a doubt been a good force on the council, pushing through initiatives that almost every student benefits from, including the ordinance requiring landlords to show photo evidence of damages charged to tenants (I should have been more aware of my rights in this process myself). Earlier I incorrectly wrote that Spirn was Judge’s roommate. I apologize to both for the error.
