Another domino effect in Haverstraw courts

Haverstraw Town Board this week appointed West Haverstraw Village Justice John K. Grant to town justice to fill the unexpired term of Thomas Walsh, who was recently appointed by Gov. David A. Paterson to serve as an interim judge of the Rockland County Surrogate Court.
This creates a need for West Haverstraw village to appoint someone to fill Grant’s seat because Grant will have to resign from his village position to become town justice.
West Haverstraw village Mayor John Ramundo said today that the village was reviewing a number of applications for the village justice position.
This type of domino effect is not unusual in Haverstraw town and the two villages in the town.
When Haverstraw town Justice Charles Apotheker won a seat on the County Court in November 2006, Walsh, who was Haverstraw village justice that time and ran against Apotheker on the Democratic primary, succeeded Apotheker’s town seat. To fill Walsh’s vacancy in the village, Ronald Decaprio was appointed to the position.
Grant himself was appointed to the West Haverstraw seat in February 2007 to fill the unexpired term of Tom Zugibe, who stepped down to run for district attorney.
Confused?
I know. It’s hard to keep track of these changes because they happen so quickly.

There is nothing confusing, and nothing much to write about. I guess you and Netter have nothing better to do than sip coffee, get witchy and then post.
Take a Mydol and sleep, will ya?
