Governor Appoints Supreme Court Justice: This morning, Governor Kulongoski appointed Martha Lee Walters of Eugene to the seat held by Justice Riggs, who had resigned. Link to the KATU story, here. It’s a pity the story shouts, “… appoints woman to Supreme Court …,” but then it’s only 2006 – sigh. I haven’t yet seen the story on the OJD Media Releases page, but it will likely appear soon if not as I am writing this.
