Mr. Genaurio, in regard to a proposal to exempt judicial from further budget cuts, stated: "It is particularly unconscionable to provide a blanket exception to one branch of government at the same time that other state agencies are being burdened with budgetary reductions." With all due respect to Mr. Genaurio, it is unconscionable to pretend that the Judicial Branch, a separate and coequal branch of government under our state constitution that is entrusted with providing justice to the citizens of this state, is the budgetary or constitutional equal of a state agency. The Judicial Branch is NOT the DMB or the Council on Environmental Quality or some other agency created by legislative fiat. The judicial branch is a bedrock necessity to our small Republic. His characterization of the judicial branch is insulting and disrespectful, and not befitting someone who wishes to wear the robes in his retirement.
