Rumors have been circulating that State Senator Phil Haines days serving in the Legislature are numbered as he plans to be appointed to a judgeship. Those plans have been delayed to the lameduck apparently:State Sen. Philip Haines (R-Springfield) will remain in the Senate until after the November general election, and will become a Superior Court Judge during the Legislature's lame duck session, according to sources familiar with the pending appointment.
Haines, a 59-year-old Burlington County Republican who was elected in 2007 after years as the County Clerk and as a Freeholder, has spent much of this year angling for a judgeship. Democrats prefer that a special election for his seat be put off until November 2010, rather than this fall. That last line is the key. The 8th has been a tough district and Democrats would be hoping that having Adler at the top of the ticket will give an extra boost to their candidate for Senate. Chris Myers will just have to wait a little bit longer. |
