This Wednesday, the Executive Council will hear testimony on the nomination of Andrew Livernois to the State Superior Court. Sorry for the short notice. We just heard about it today. Before anyone says yes, perhaps they should consider this.
In the midst of the Gunstock kerfuffle, the County Attorney (Livernois) advised members of the County Delegation regarding the calling of an emergency meeting to address open seats on the Gunstock Area Commission. To quote Skip – it was his length article filled with emails and letters and commentary – his impression of the nominee’s response is that “EVERYTHING in the Law is a “grey area” (so go do what you want). And now the Delegation is getting sued over it.”
I don’t assume to know the details of the law or the Gunstock situation, but the result of that advice was that the Delegation got sued for not following the law.
That might seem like a minor oversight with room for misinterpretation of the advice, but Skip isn’t short on emails, letters, or details, so you can be the judge before anyone makes Livernois a judge.
I’m not saying this is disqualifying, but it might not be the only thing that went sideways while he was a County Attorney.
The nomination will be decided by the EC on Wednesday, first thing.
Note: an Actual EC vote won’t happen before March 12th.
