Margarita López Torres [1] picked up some rather big league endorsements this morning down at City Hall.
From the press relase:
At 9:30AM Monday morning, July 18, on the steps of
New York City Hall, three
congressional members from Brooklyn, along with
other elected officials and
supporters, will announce their support for Civil
Court Judge Margarita López
Torres to be the next Surrogate Court Judge of
Brooklyn.
Those three congresscritters? Nydia Velazquez [2] (NY-12), Ed Towns [3] (NY-10) and Major Owens [4] (NY-11).
Again, from the PR:
Judge López Torres is running in the primary for
the Democratic Party’s
nomination to take the place of Michael Feinberg,
who was recently removed from
office by the Commission of Judicial Conduct and the
New York Court of
Appeals. Feinberg was removed for allowing his
close personal friend, who he
appointed as the counsel to the public
administrator, to overcharge estates
millions of dollars in legal fees, funds that would
have gone to the widows and
orphans of those who died without wills. The Court
said that Feinberg's actions
"debased his office and eroded public confidence in
the integrity of the
judiciary."
Already this year the Daily News called Judge López Torres
“a kind of Joan
of Arc of reform in the borough.
