Tom Foley and Governor Rell’s Final Judicial Appointments.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley “will respect and preserve the appointment decisions she makes.” He adds a caveat that ought to relieve the state’s court administrators:  ”However, after I am elected Governor, I will not appoint more judges until the Judicial branch says it needs more, because the state simply can’t afford it.”

The state’s judicial branch has made it known that it doesn’t need and can’t afford additional Superior Court judges.  That resistance has strained relations with the executive branch.

I am sorry for the delay in getting this posted.  I’ve had a mysterious email glitch with the Foley campaign that we are trying to figure out.
