Keep fees out of politics
Keep fees out of politics
EDITOR:
Watching Judge Belinky on the news the other night attempt to justify his expenditure for pencils was unbelievable. He seemed to think that using our fees was OK.
If it is true that he — and other office holders — use part of the fees and charges we pay for such purposes, I am frankly appalled. If this is not illegal, it should be. Such a use amounts to an involuntary political contribution, perhaps to someone we would not support if we were asked.
If Judge Belinky, and, he says, other office holders, want to promote themselves and their reelection, they should do it with funds raised out in the open, not skimmed off the fees we are required to pay.
