Transcript of Feb 10, 2021 hearing
Commission on Judicial Conduct: pp. 132-

pp. 136-137: "And four times in the last 10 years the Legislature has increased our appropriation, recognizing that the work we do is essential, it is a constitutional responsibility and obligation."
p. 142: every commission member sees every complaint that we get, even if it's not against a judge, even if it's a non-jurisdictional against a police officer, a lawyer -- every one of our commission members see every one of the complaints that we get, and they all vote on them. They have the opportunity to hold for full discussion if they wish, but there is an opportunity for each of them to see every complaint, and they all vote on them. So it's fair to say that in my entire tenure, which is over 40 years at this, every nvestigation has had at least a majority of members voting, whether or not they were all in the room at the time. Six out of the 11 have authorized everything we do.
pp. 144-5: "we in writing explain to every complainant the reasons for our action, including to those complaints that we choose not to refer by indicating that it didn't really involve misconduct against a judge and there didn't seem to be a legitimate basis for us to refer it elsewhere, but they certainly could if they wished."
