Mind the Mud

Many of you have seen the crudely written yellows signs in your neighborhoods that announce messages varying from “Judge Caught Fixing a Ticket” to “Judge Caught Using a Fake Name.”  One series is actually in front of a preschool!  Judge Segal has received many, many supportive messages and phone calls from the community.  People complain about the smear or hate messages.  Fortunately, the passion stirred by these signs also makes people committed to helping Judge Segal win her re-election.  Who do you want as a judge, they ask? They resent the signs and feel that they reflect negatively on the judiciary as well as the community judges.  One businessman commented that he felt he lost a possible investor because the signs were so offensive.  Many  others have said that they will support Judge Segal because they want only candidates with positive messages and campaigns to win.

While this committee and others supporting Judge Segal strongly support the Constitution and the right of free speech, we strongly encourage the public to look deeper into the messages before allowing them to sway opinion. Judge Segal's campaign priority is to deliver messages that are transparent, truthful, and direct.  Judge Segal has openly discussed previously that there was no “fix” of a traffic ticket.  That implies there was dishonestly or corruption. Judge Segal was reprimanded for asking that a traffic ticket issued to her teenage son be transferred to the city court.  Family members of judges cannot have their cases heard in the same court and cannot “touch” the ticket in any way.
