Justice O’Connor’s budget proposal clarified

Earlier today, I had written a post about what was reported as a proposal by Chief Justice candidate/Associate Justice Maureen O’Connor to appoint a legislative committee to oversee the “state budget” and suggest additional cuts.

That story has since been updated to clarify that O’Connor meant a committee to look for other areas to cut in just the judiciary’s budget, and not the broader State budget.

I don’t like to get a post wrong, but I had written a post that said that based on the earlier reports that O’Connor should be impeached if she was proposing the judiciary could assert oversight over the entire state budget.

Because my post was based on erroneous reporting elsewhere that has since been corrected, I took it down.

Sorry for the error.
