Save Now Pay Later

Is that what is going to happen in these trying days ahead? Vermont courts were ordered to close their doors  for five “furlough days” in order to achieve $245,000 in cost savings ordered by the state, which is in the throes of a fiscal crisis.

Ok, that ‘sounds’ good on paper, but, (and there always is), what happens to the already over crowded dockets? Now judges have a ‘day off’ and that will add 5 times more to their work load to which they are having trouble with now.

So I’m thinking in theory, Overloaded dockets, a rush to justice, clean out the files, run the ‘bad guys’ through fast today due to the day off, there is going to be more human error and those who are innocent may be awarded the wrong sentence, which means lawsuits. which means more cost to the tax payers in the long run.

Then there is the human error of allowing a criminal to run free, well we all know what that means.

At any rate Vermont Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul Reiber says all nonunion employees of the judiciary who make more than $60,000 a year will be subject to the furloughs.

A half-day-a-week court closing plan imposed earlier this year will remain in effect, except in weeks when the courts close completely for the day. In those cases, the furlough day will replace the half-day closing.

We will see how this all pans out.
