Editor,

We have a hotly contested race this year for next Chenango County Judge. One of the candidates has displayed an impressive resume’ – for a prosecutor. Do we really need that type of confrontational mentality or experience for this Judgeship? The majority of cases in Chenango County Court are Family Court cases.

We have another candidate who does not wear his credentials on his sleeve but goes about his business in an unobtrusive manner with no fanfare. He possesses integrity, honesty, compassion and common sense and can be firm when necessary. He has an extensive knowledge of the justice system and has affected the lives of many in the community in a positive manner.
