So Anderson, if she wins, will likely be in violation of the law."<BR/><BR/>Anderson has no intention of paying back that "Loan" and will only be subject to a small fine for intentionally violating the election law. Sad, a candidate for Judge violatig the law on her way to the bench. Can you imagine what her behaviot will be like once she's on the bench?<BR/><BR/>John Reddy is a reformer with a 10 point plan on cleaning up Surrogate's Court. He worked hard to raise the money to finance his campaign, and every contribution he got was legal and didn't violate the elections law.<BR/><BR/>Seth Rubenstein, the lawyer that loaned Nora Anderson the $225,000 will be appearing before her for guardianships if she is elected. You tell me, do you think he will get his money back tenfold with her as judge? <BR/><BR/>If Seth Rubenstein wanted to control the Manhattan's Surrogate Court that much, he should have run for the office himself, rather than using Nora Anderson as his shill, and illegally financing her campaign from behind the scenes.<BR/><BR/>As for Judge Tingling, he has the worst reversal rate of any NY State Superior Court Judge, being overturned by the appellate division almost 50 percent of the time.<BR/><BR/>The only real candidate for changing Surrogate Court who is qualified and honest is John Reddy. <BR/><BR/>VOTE FOR REFORM. VOTE FOR REDDY<BR/>www.reddyforsurrogate.comEllian Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688469043573549747noreply@blogger.com
