Salinger Fitness Questioned Over Home Foreclosure Record
The Carroll Herald notes Salinger’s stance on fairness in the supreme court race is challenged by his loan dispute. It recalls a Boynton vs Salinger case where Salinger argued the statute of limitations to avoid paying part of a $4,000 home contract, yet the court ruled against him on the final installment. The Times-Republican adds that living in the Boynton home while defending the delay raises questions about his fitness for the Iowa high court.
