Continuing my recent media tour (ha!) please also check out an appearance I made last week on Evan Dawson’s “Connections” program on WXXI Radio 1370. The other guest was David Andreatta from the D&C.
The topic of the show originated with David’s column in the paper a few weeks back on some pretty ridiculous behavior by town justices who happened not to be attorneys. As you may or may not know, town justices in New York State are not required to be attorneys, although most are here in Monroe County.
As I said on the show, I have never personally witnessed anything like the level of misconduct David touched on in his column, and I do not feel that the law should be changed to mandate that all town justices be attorneys. In fact, the guest who came on the show after me did a pretty good job outlining the extensive training and resources required of and available to town justices.

As a side note I was calling in from my sister in law’s car in the parking lot of Purina Farms in someplace called Gray Summit, Missouri. Actually the dog show featuring Frisbee tossing, agility/obstacle courses and long distance pool jumping was pretty cool. Somehow I can’t see my dog having the attention span to make the team.
