Judicial strike force cut in half

As previously reported, RivCo has benefitted by the appointment of 12 temporary judges to hear criminal trials. I also reported below that their are more criminal trials awaiting trial now than when the task for was appointed. The PE reports on Thursday that the task force was ended. There is no question the task force was necessary but the problem still exists and shows no signs of easing without either a massive amount of new judges or the DA starts dealing with the criminals to reduce the demand on the courts. Until one of these options takes place, we will continue to have no civil justice system in this county.
