(CHICAGO) In the case of a sexual harassment allegation by a victims’ rights advocate against Democratic State Senator Ira Silverstein,  the Special Legislative Inspector General Julie Porter has issued a verdict.

The I-G found that Silverstein “did behave in a manner unbecoming of a legislator.” but it was not sexual harassment.

Silverstein didn’t want to answer any of my questions about the finding, but he did say “I am very grateful that we have an independent inspector general who saw the facts for what they were.  My priorities are now my family and my re-election.”

But Silverstein’s two more impediments to his re-election: He’s currently 45 signatures short on his petition to get on the March 20th ballot and even if he does get on the ballot he’s got a primary challenger.
