Court consolidation is an idea worth pursuing
Editor:
Public Defender Joanne Best and District Attorney Joe Cardone have made an excellent suggestion: consolidate the 10 town courts into one.
As they both stated, fewer attorneys would be needed, and it would make it easier for both offices to do their jobs.
At a time when the Hub is filled with pleas from the public to reduce taxes, consolidation of the expensive, duplicative town courts into one makes good financial and
administrative sense. And with one location, fewer attorneys and reduced costs, it would end up reducing taxes.
Perhaps Best and Cardone could provide details on how much would be saved by their idea.
