WDT: More Intrigue in Scramble for Cushy Judge Posts

Four open Supreme Court seats and five political parties on the ballot make for an interesting matrix on the November ballot and today Democrats add to the confusion by holding a judicial convention. Meanwhile the fate of Republicans depends on the willingness of two Conservative Party nominees to step aside after not getting the GOP nod.
Add to that the possibility the Independence and Working Families parties will have conventions this weekend...They may not due to quorum issues.
It's all part of the winning the Lottery frenzy over getting these nominations which could lead to a 14 year term of office at $175,000 salary plus benefits...That's like being Governor but a lot less work.

If I understand the chain of events correctly, this $175,000 salary is a large increase in salary implemented since Andy took office? Yup, Cuomo is doing real well controlling the budget isn't he?
