Will Reisig be honored at the event for instituting the Neighborhood Court?
Shoot Mr. O, I might consider buying a ticket and sitting through all the liberals patting each other on the back if Reisig is honored.
The people being honored are listed. We’ll see how neighborhood courts work for longer than a few months before anyone gets honored. but we should have a volunteer from the neighborhood courts that will talk about the program on our panel.
@Mr.Obvious….I personally would love to have a person from the district attorneys office represent them on this program. I may come up with someone..it really is fundamental for a better system to work hard on being on the same page for a righteous justice system. Lord willing, I can get someone from their office to step up to the plate and represent.
