Because I don’t know Edward (Ted) or Jennifer Dilworth, I am more than willing to assume the honesty of both. I am not questioning the ethics or the honesty of either.

The Dilworths are both running for office and certainly they have the right to do that, and they are to be commended for their willingness to serve the public good.

The Dilworths have done so, but herein lies my question — is it not a conflict of interest for one to serve as judge and the other to serve as the registrar? Legal to do so? Yes, but with courts having gained so much power during the past number of years, is it not best to avoid that glaring appearance of impropriety?

I may vote for one, but I won’t be able to vote for the other. It just doesn’t seem like good business to me.
