Right before the holiday weekend, political analyst, Alan Flacks, reported that Michael Katz -- court attorney to Supreme Court Justice Barbara Kapnick -- was selected as the County's nominee for the available New York City Civil Court judgeship.
Here's what went down:
County Exec Committee Endorses for Civil Court
The New York County Democratic Committee's Executive Committee (comprised of the district leaders) endorsed Michael Lee Katz for the County-wide vacancy #11 on the New York City Court, the seat vacated by Shirley Werner Kornreich when she was elevated to the State's trial bench. At the July 1st meeting, the weighted vote was Katz, 176; Nancy Bannon, 012; and William Ramos (who is not in the running), 000.
However, a number of Manhattan Reform Democratic clubs, which do not just go along with "County," are having endorsement meetings.
