Council a keeper
We should keep the Governor’s Council (“Gov’s Council members slam push to wipe out body,” May 11). It’s currently undergoing continuous improvement. But let’s also amend the Constitution to reflect the recertification of judges. This initiative would help the council do a better job.
In a six-year cycle, judges should be placed on a ballot before the people in a district (i.e., county). The body would be responsible for initial appointments and any replacements going forward when “the people,” by a simple majority, vote to terminate a judge for bad behavior, clear bias or incompetence.
