Rep. Ron Abrams appointed to judgeship

Rep. Ron Abrams, a Republican from Minnetonka, has been appointed to a judgeship. It is no secret that he has wanted to be a judge for quite some time, and he has finally achieved his goal.

I don't know if you will hear many bad words about Rep. Abrams. He is an eminently fair and reasonable person, not to mention an expert in tax policy. Even though he is a Republican, the legislature will be poorer for his absence. I am sure, though, that he will make an excellent judge.
