Gov William Milliken appoints John W Fitzgerald of Grand Ledge to fill Justice Thomas Brennan’s vacancy on the Michigan Supreme Court effective Jan 1 1974. The selection ends a 27 year Republican appointment drought and reflects Fitzgerald’s long service in state government and the Senate.
Milliken names John Fitzgerald to the state supreme court and Glenn S. Allen to the state appeals court in a two judge parley. Fitzgerald, elected in 1960, is seen as electable with incumbency advantages, while Allen, long active in Kalamazoo politics and Romney administrations, is expected to win statewide in time.
