  1. WOW, He has to hear Cases from 10 Counties? Maybe MORE Judges is the answer to help lower the Crime Rate. More Judges, BETTER D.A.’s and Better Prosecutors.

  2. Come on NEBA wake-up! Stand up and turn your backs and demand Reese resign and DWC, DAILEY, and Curtis vote to do a nationwide search for a legitimate city manager to clean up Kickback Enterprise AKA City Hall.
