They Were Just Kidding
No audio blog today, so this one will be in writing.
Apparently Marion County Superior Court Judge Becky Pierson-Treacy is telling fellow judges and lawyers that she and husband Marion County Democratic Chairman Ed Treacy were just joking when they put out their fundraiser invitation that suggested a $1000 contribution will get you a “favorable ruling”.
The Treacys are on vacation in Wyoming, but apparently their phones have been ringing off the hook.
A number of lawyers who dabble in politics have asked why she even needed to raise money in the first place as judges in Marion County are slated and usually win. And some have gone so far as to contact the Indiana Judicial Qualification Commission and file formal complaints.
Judge Treacy and I have never met personally, however from what I have heard in the legal community she is not going to be winning any judicial scholar awards anytime soon. Even in 2006 an Indianapolis Bar Association survey of judges had her as the third-lowest approved judge on the bench.
And after seeing the fundraiser flyer she sent out, I am not surprised in the least.
