Oakes Rules On Cooley Larrow Dispute In Vermont
UPI reports Vermont Attorney General James L. Oakes resolved a conflict between Secretary of State Harry Cooley and Superior Court Judge Robert W. Larrow. A written opinion said Larrow’s filing to seek re election on November 12 would be sufficient under the new acting law for judges succeeding themselves. Cooley had claimed the deadline had passed, but a photostatic copy of the filing was received by Cooley’s office. The ruling ends a dispute between Democratic officeholders, with Oakes noting the act’s timing did not intend a strict deadline for judges already in office.
