Letter to the Editor

Robert Whitfield , January 2000

Gentlemen:
I cannot but note that the increases in tolls proposed on the Turnpike and Parkway seem timed to coincide with proposed pay increases for judges and legislators. Though not a resident of the Garden State, it seems you guys merit a raise but I have yet to meet a New Jersey judge who is a worth a dime yet alone the massive pay increases proposed.
As one who has suffered at length from judicial incompetence, rudeness and repeated violations of constitutional and state law, not to mention flagrant violations of human and civil rights at the hands of judges in Morristown, I can only suggest that Judge Weinstein could not be as poor a judge as Judges Gannon, Schaeffer and Friend, all of whom should have been removed from the bench long ago.
In considering the situation, an astute Virginia observer noted:
1. The Governor is a woman.
2. The President of the Bar is a woman.
3. The two judges who have been approved for re-appointment are women.
4. The reason for not re-appointing a male judge is his alleged "insensitivity to women."
5. The Supreme Court is headed by a woman.
6. Senator Cafiero has declined to rename his subcommittee on Women's Issues which handles domestic relations matters.
Something is very fishy smelling here. As Mrs. Slocum on "Are You Being Served" would say: "Has anyone seen my pussy?"
Robert Whitfield,
Reston, VA
