Mayor Bloomberg Renews Call for Change

Fresh from his big win on Tuesday, Mayor Bloomberg is launching a new push aimed at changing the way the city elects most judges – a secretive process largely controlled by party bosses and long riddled by scandal … It’s not the first time Bloomberg has called for changing the city’s arcane method of electing judges. He first did so in May 2003 in a speech before the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, and more recently during his campaign.
