Just Say No to Deborah Bell Paseur

Like it or not, many Alabama judges are elected. This may change in the next few years, but for now the citizens of this great state are stuck with the system. There are many in this area who will vote for Judge Paseur since she is something of a local girl. The same goes for those who will vote for Paseur because she is a Democrat. Even some may vote for her because she is Catholic or female.

Both judges are qualified; however, Greg Shaw has more education and has run a clean campaign, unlike Paseur who is throwing some dirt in the waning weeks of the fight. My friends in the local judicial system tell me that, while Paseur has done much good in the community, she assumes every defendant is guilty and has therefore often tilted the scales of justice against the accused. Perhaps most defendants are guilty, but surely some are not. Paseur does not have the high regard of many defense attorneys, and this alone speaks volumes.

Vote for the best qualified candidate on November 4. Vote for Judge Greg Shaw.


What's up with this: Killen has the highest per capita percentage of sex offenders in the Shoals area. Is there something we non-residents are missing?
