#2: INSIDE THE REDWELD FILE FOLDER
THAT CJA OFFERED UP DURING ORAL TESTIMONY:
"In
1989 the State Comptroller tried to do an audit of the Commission on
Judicial Conduct which wouldn’t allow the Comptroller access to its files.
The Comptroller knew that without access to the complaints, the
record of complaints and the dismissals he could make no assessment as to
the legitimacy of the dismissals of complaints.
The Commission wouldn’t give access and so he wrote a report called
‘Not Accountable to the Public’.
You have no auditing. In all
these years there has never been an independent auditing of the complaints
filed with the Grievance Committees.
There has never been an independent audit…I have brought with me a
sample, an illustrative sample of, let’s see five – here, five…”
