A reader outlines a push to consolidate or eliminate many justice courts in Kern County, merging Shafter Wasco Lost Hills and Delano into a central district. The writer argues this would hurt the public more than convenience, noting long hours and part time JP salaries, urging voters to weigh the impact before casting ballots.
