Dear
Editor,
,
In the midst of all this circulating political literature, I thought it would be interesting to read some behind the scenes stories. My mother is Judge Teresa Ballinger and she has been playing the role of a judge for a long time, and I have been a victim of her practice and training. When I was younger I accidentally took a bouncy ball from a toy store. My mother labeled this as theft, sentenced me to return the ball and to verbally apologize to the store manager. I also thought it would be a good idea to sign my name to a family member’s truck bumper with magic marker. My mom labeled this crime as destruction of private property. The sentence this time was manually scrubbing my markings off and apologizing for my actions. My entire childhood consisted of small sentencing and I would like to take partial credit for this well rounded judge now serving Marion County.
If you had to construct a judge in our modern day, I have the best recipe. I would want the qualities of a teacher, the compassion of a social worker, the drive of an entropronuer when building her own law practice, and the experience of a mother. The Marion area has benefited through all of her accomplishments, and now she is your judge. We need to keep people like my mom among us, a woman with multiple skills and points of views to ensure fair and just decisions are being made. I have been on this amazing journey with her from when I was born to where she is today. It is her dedication and perseverance that has made her the driving force in my life. I visit her courtroom often to observe her duties and go out for lunch of course. Teresa Ballinger has a well organized courtroom and a wonderful staff which helps. It is important that we keep Judge Ballinger in her current position, for it ensures that fairness prevails undoubtedly.
