Court qualifications clear

Sun., Aug. 1, 2010

I will get right to the point. I support Laurel Siddoway in her bid to keep her seat on the Court of Appeals.

I have known Lauri for many years. For many of those years I practiced law with her. I have been privy to her legal analysis and have heard her argue in court. I have the highest regard for her legal ability.

The quality of the court can only be enhanced by her presence. I have been a Republican for most of my life. Whether Lauri is a Republican, a Democrat or an independent is not of the slightest concern to me.
