Ind. Courts - "Lake County judge race pits Paras vs. Dominguez"
Updating this ILB entry from April 5, 2010, here is another story today from Andy Grimm of the Gary Post Tribune on the Lake C. Circuit Court race. Some quotes:
Lake County attorneys rate George Paras as more qualified than Alex Dominguez to be Circuit Court judge, according to a survey by the Lake County Bar Association.In a survey of 248 attorneys who responded to an on-line poll, Paras received an overall rating of 5.89 on a 10-point scale, with 10 the highest rating. Dominguez received a rating of 4.13.
A candidate with a rating of 7 or higher is considered "well qualified," a rating of "5 to 6 is "qualified," and 4 or lower is "less than qualified."
When asked to select a candidate for the post, Paras received 105 votes to Dominguez's 35, a 3-to-1 margin. However, 108 respondents made no selection between the two candidates.
"There's a lot of ambivalence about this election out there," said one area attorney who asked not to be named.
