The event, sponsored by the Westchester County Bar Association, featured remarks by New York State Bar Association president Kate Madigan, who encouraged students to join the bar association (once they pass it, of course) and told the judges that lobbying state lawmakers to raise judicial salaries is still “the number-one, front-burner issue” for the group.....
.....Acting Village Justices Jose Castaneda (Port Chester), James Badie (Elmsford) and Barry Warhit (Tarrytown).....
