Subject: Judging Justice. The newly-formed Issues Group will be having its next meeting on Wednesday, June 24, at 2:00 PM at the home of Betty Dougherty at 129 Sunflower Street. The topic for discussion is “Judging Justice.” Texas is one of only 7 states to select its judges in partisan political elections; good-government groups are appalled that judges accept campaign contributions from lawyers and businesses that appear in their courts. Is Texas justice being sold to the highest bidder? Please let Betty know if you will be attending by calling 864-1582 or emailing: bettydou@suddenlink.net .
