Judge Worth Has the Experience and Education

I am responding to a letter by Suzanne M. Laplante in Saratoga TODAY (“Time for Change in Wilton,” Sept. 8-14) regarding the upcoming election for Wilton Town Justice.

Specifically, I would like to address Ms. Laplante’s closing argument, wherein she states, “Judge Worth does not possess the legal education and experience we need for these complex times.”

To the contrary, here are some facts regarding the two candidates’ experience and education:

Judge Worth has presided over 90,000 New York vehicle and traffic cases and 6,200 penal cases. He has over 30 years of judicial experience in the Town of Wilton. In contrast, his opponent has presided over a total of zero cases and has no judicial experience whatsoever.

Judge Worth has completed over 80 New York judicial courses and has judicial certification from Albany Law School. In contrast, his opponent has no education specific to the type of cases handled in Wilton town court.

Judge Worth is a lifelong Wilton resident. He knows the town, its people, and its community standards. In contrast, his opponent just moved to Wilton within the past year and has much to learn about the town of Wilton and its people.

Judge Worth has the experience, education and community values we need in a town judge. We are fortunate to have Gerald Worth as our Town Justice, and I ask that you vote to reelect Judge Worth on November 7.
