Many interested in W-B judge post

WILKES-BARRE – You can expect many names to circulate over the next couple months as potential successors to William Amesbury’s soon-to-be-vacant magisterial district judge post begin to surface.

“I’ve been approached by several people already today looking for my support,” said city Mayor Tom Leighton. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see 35 people or more go after that job.”

Amesbury has held the post since 2002, and Tuesday he was elected judge of the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas. Amesbury will assume his new duties on the first Monday of January.
