State/Local: Story about the state marshal system is very interesting. This is the replacement system for the old county sheriff system, which got into trouble not so much over service of process but over transporting prisoners and permitting, as one recalls, a rape of a prisoner in the van on the way back to the jail. Seems as if they left process work on an entrepreneurial basis. Maybe something is wrong in the foreclosure business (and possibly service of process is a small part of that) but since when is it wrong to make money on this activity? Why shouldn’t a foreclosing attorney use whomever the firm wishes to serve process — presumably a marshal who is efficient? And why should a bank not be able to choose whatever law firm it wishes to do foreclosures? Firms aren’t all the same.
State: Transit fare increases proposed? At a time of economic crisis, it makes no sense to raise fares on public transit. Donovan has announced against the governor’s proposal.
Wallingford: Republicans have decided to include John LeTourneau after all, and have nominated seven instead of six council candidates. Will it dilute the GOP vote or enthuse people? Tune in in November!
