POLL: Is Linskey justified with his federal lawsuit?
Last week we wrote how Tony Rostock, Billy Balchune and Red Paterson all got a piece of Bob Linskey and his lawsuit at 2011’s final meeting.

Strike that. Phil is going a lot disappointed when Lesa puts on her robe come January.
While the six new incoming judges will have their pick for their personal law clerks and secretary, none will be afforded to opportunity to appoint their own tip staff – the political patronage plum that has been afforded to the Luzerne County bench since time began.
