Actually the City Council gave defense attorney Kris Kaino (who has endorsed Haller) the Muni Court job over Matyas.

Matyas is not only a judge in Astoria but also a couple other cities. Haller's experiemce as ANY kinmd of judge is zero. The local lawyers drafted him - he didn't even want the job - but the GOBs were terrified of an independent woman getting the job. Matyas owes nobody.

Matyas has handled homicide cases and maybe most importantly she had the guts to blow the whistle on her own boss back in 1993, then-DA Julie Leonhardt. THAT is the kind of courage we want to see in a judge!

Are you really so naive as to think that because the GOB "local lawyers" want a pet judge that he won't owe them...big time?
