After five weeks or so of hibernation, local political blog IlliniPundit.com has returned with a new moniker: ChampaignPundit.com. As you may recall, new Champaign councilperson Gordy Hulten relinquished control of the site as part of the conditions of his appointment to the council posted the following when taking the site offline in late April, “The time constraints of serving as a Council member (and running for election!) while balancing everything else in my life led to me to pledge during the application process that I would set aside IlliniPundit.com.”
So far, there’s just an explanatory post from Hulten and a couple of blurbs from Champaign County Clerk Mark Shelden. More to come, one would assume.
