Doyle has been ‘obstacle to policing’

I am a retired police chief in Blair County with more than 36 years of service in law enforcement.

Without question, I've never been more worried about the prospects for law and order in our nation and

in Blair County.

All it takes is a bad district attorney's office or a bad judge for our criminal justice system to go off the rails.

Fortunately, our county is well-served by DA Pete Weeks and his staff.

But President Judge Doyle has long been an obstacle to proper policing and to the people administering law enforcement.

Another 10 year term for her means 10 more years of poor leadership for our court system, 10 more years of uncertain support for our police, and 10 more years of coddling criminals.

I ask all Blair Countians to vote no on Judge Doyle's retention.
