Give light for voters

-

Robert A. Lanier, Memphis

I understand that informatio­n about sports, coaches, etc., must take priority in your pages, but I hope that you will find room for full informatio­n on each candidate now running for local judgeships. Something on the order of the fine reporting you did on other positions, before the primaries, would be very helpful. This time, before the early voting starts for the August election, you could report on the experience, education, scholarshi­p, financial responsibi­lity, behavior and arrest records (if any) of those people who will preside over the courts which control our lives, families and property.

That would be a valuable contributi­on to improving a terrible way to select our judges.
