Retired judge sues over new health care charges
SPRINGFIELD – A retired judge is suing over a new law that will begin charging some state retires for health insurance.
Gordon Maag is a retired appellate judge who lost when he ran as a Democrat against Republican Lloyd Karmeier for a seat on the Illinois Supreme Court from the 5th Judicial District in southern Illinois in 2004.
The State Journal-Register reported that Maag wants the law declared unconstitutional. He's also asking that his lawsuit be declared a class-action suit on behalf of all retirees.
