To the Editor:
Please do not overlook the race for Governor’s Council tomorrow and please consider voting for Jeff Morneau. A Governor’s Councilor does three primary things, vets and votes on judges, clerk-magistrates and parole board members nominated by the Governor and votes on pardons and commutations. It is imperative that we are represented on the Governor’s Council by someone who understands Berkshire County and represents our values. Jeff Morneau is that guy.
Jeff currently serves as President of the Hampden County Bar Association and I have had the pleasure of working with him on issues affecting the judiciary in Berkshire County. He is a smart, progressive thinker who understands the need for reform in our judicial system. More importantly, he is a dedicated and engaged attorney who understands that our judges should be selected based on what they know, not who they know.
Please join me in supporting Jeff Morneau for Governor’s Council.
