Not "probation", "Probate and Family Court" - two different things.

Reprobates in the Probate and Family Court.

... that anyone thought transferring a serial problem employee (on "paid leave") to help IMPROVE functioning of Arroyo's office would work. Seems like Arroyo was right -- and he WAS being undercut by the Probate Court honchos (who sympathized with the long-term patronage employees he had to try to manage).

and still not a big fan...

But I'm glad this was exposed and that she's not a judge. I hope Medonis and Gerardi all get what's coming (fired may be appropriate, though I fear they'll retire with big pensions) and I hope that someone can turn that office around for the people it's meant to serve.
