This wreaks of pandering to the trial attorney's so they can continue to pad their pockets and tie up the court rooms. I am so very disappointed in Judge Ola Lewis's decision to be involved in going against our new District Attorney in his attempt to streamline a bogged down and antiquated system for taking care of infractions. By streamlining the current system it frees up valuable officer time to be where they are needed in the streets of their communities doing what their jurisdictions have hired them to do and that is to protect and to serve their towns and cities. During this current extreme economic downturn cities and towns all over the state are continually searching for ways to cut their budgets to reduce the burden to the taxpayer, by adding officer court time this works against the origianl intent of the District Attorney to eliminate excessive use of valuable resources via officer court time. I thought we were moving forward not back. All attorney's that have donated to the Judges campaigns mentioned; well, I think, the Judges should recuse themselves from hearing their cases.
