I am a member of the local bar association and I do not agree. Judge Gilbert has entered a rehabilitation program. If he successfully completes that program and is able to resume his duties, he should be given the chance to show that he can competently perform his job. Taking a hard look at one's behavior and making changes should be encouraged. Judge Gilbert had the character to apologize and take action. If Judge Gilbert overcomes this challenge I congratulate him. I am confident that he will. PAUL BARE Traverse City - --- MAP posted-by: SHeath(DPFFlorida)
