Grants for the Court Room

To the Editor, I recently received a campaign flyer for Judge Brian Herman running for reelection in the Town of Copake. After reading his flyer I am a bit confused about what he is claiming he did for the Town of Copake. Specifically obtaining a grant for a new rug in the main room of the Copake Town Hall. Yes we have a new rug & a grant was obtained for it, but Judge Herman at the January reorganization meeting told the town board & the public that his court clerk was solely responsibly for the grant for the carpeting. Now he is saying he obtained the grant. Is he being a little dishonest here or is he just playing with words in his flyer. In either case, I believe he is not being totally honest with the taxpayers & residents of Copake. Therefore how do we know he will not carry this dishonesty to the courtroom? Maybe it’s time for the voters of Copake to elect a new judge.
