Wow, I thought we were messed up here in California, but you guys may take the lead!
Gary, GET OVER IT and move on. First, you LOST! For whatever reason you blew it buddy! I would guess it may be due to the fact that you came accross arrogant and full of elf-worth. Also, I am going out on a limb to say the disbarrment did not stand you in th egreatest of light!

That Steve Booth fella sounds like an arrogant bully! Good gor you Stevie Sarkis! Showing these two idiots who is boss!

Mr. Klahr,
A close friend has followed your career & is strongly encouraging me to try to reach you for direction.
I don’t know any other way to contact you so please forgive this venue. I am a father diagnosed with PTSD & other related issues, that has been unable to work for 2 years since my breakdown. This has resulted in my subjection to the effective “Debtors Prison” situation due to failure to pay child support. Situations in the infamous Tent City [work release]where I have been now for 3 months (with NO release date) have severely increased my challenges, reduced my previously meager income to effectively -0- and subjects me to increasing penalties and arrearages subject to 29.9% interest compounded monthly. MCSO repeatedly denies medication to inmates with mental illness issues and the “Accountability court” is doing a fine job of nailing the fathers unable to pay rather than those able and unwilling.
I am now indigent as of last Monday and unable to locate any legal assistance & incapable of representing my self in open discussion.
If you have any suggestions, please respond.

David

Mr. Klahr, I believe I was very happy to finally hear you had been disbarred. In 1970 and 1971, I knew a couple of the kids you were “helping” . I worked at a Tastee Freeze on 27th avenue and Northern and you brought my friends for an ice cream, BUT as my friend told me, you left 1 boy that had smarted off to you, in the trunk of the car you were driving at the time. He stayed in there until you and the other 2 boys finished your ice cream cones then I watched as you let the boy out of your trunk and you all drove away. I have always thought that incident very unnerving, and I was only 16 at the time, so I for one am very glad for your disbarment, cause I dont think you were doing those boys any good.

Anthony, your brother Steven Sarkis did not EARN anything, he is a liar and a cheat. Steve Sarkis lied to the people of the Arcadia/Biltmore Justice Court precinct by claiming he lived there when he in fact lived in a Tempe home. He lied and misrepresented his credentials. He committed perjury on campaign affidavits. He violated the Arizona Code of Judicial Conduct multiple times. He should be removed from office. Steven Sarkis is simply a 24 year old punk kid with a knack for lying and posting his frat party pictures online. This office is such a joke! While I’m proud of my Democratic party, the Justice of the Peace should not be elected and should have nothing to do with partisan politics. The fact is, Steven Sarkis was lucky in getting elected, he road Obama’s coat tails like he rides his girlfriend Jennifer. Give me a break Steven Sarkis got significantly less votes that Arizona’s first lesbian constable Carolyn Lane. I looked at the election results; Carolyn Lane beat her opponent by about 14% Steven Sarkis only won by a measly 4%. Dems had a significant registration advantage in the precinct, if he were so good he should have won by a much greater margin. If I were Carolyn Lane I would be embarrassed to work with this kid, she should run for Justice of the Peace in a few years. At least she has never had a DUI, had a warrant issued for her arrest, had a criminal misdemeanor conviction, or had the audacity to post pictures of himself online like Steven Sarkis. However, I do like the picture of the play penis/fire hose between the legs, he looks like Alfred E. Neuman from Mad Magazine.

I feel sorry for the court staff that now has to work with this arrogant kid who earlier this year was a clerk with 2 years of work experience at the Justice Court and now based on his LinkedIn profile claims he has “Worked extensively in the legal profession”. I’m sure this is some great power trip; he probably thinks he is smarter and better than everyone else since he was elected to the most ridiculous office aside from Constable or dog catcher. Justices of the Peace should be required to have a law degree and a member of the bar (FYI – Steven Sarkis, that doesn’t mean drinking) in good standing (that’s right Gary Peter Klahr you shouldn’t qualify – dumbass!).

HAPPY VOTER—No thanks!!! I did NOT just lose “fair & square.” I don’t know Sarkis personally—but I DO know HIS record and I sure know MINE. Rather than worry about who is a sorry-loser, why don’t you give us all some REASON you would support Sarkis over me or even Booth. There is too much emotion and not enough COMMON SENSE/reason in elections these days. People like YOU are part of the PROBLEM—not the solution. With Obama, at least, we elected the more intelligent and rational candidate for )resident; I cannot say the same for Arcadia JP!!!!!!

Klahr, want some cheese with your whine.. give it up.. you might as well tape record yourself and play it over and over because you are a boring, washed up, sore loser… you are an old man acting more immature than a teenager.. Have some self-respect for yourself and for your family..

To Anthony et al— The voters were conned into electing a TOTALLY unqualified, immature judge. May God have mercy on those whose cases will have to be heard by him. As for me, judicial Canons will require him to recuse himself from hearing any case involving me.
I was the ONLY qualified candidate for JP among the 4 who filed valid petitions. But Booth was clearly the MOST qualified of the three others—Sarkis was the LEAST qualified. As was shown by the victories of the 4 incompetent Republican County Supervisors and Andy Thomas & Joe Arapaio, I’m sure my critics will agree that VOTERS OFTEN MAKE THE WRONG CHOICE!!!!

Stevie Sarkis did work hard to WIN the ELECTION—but did NOT get the law degree and legal experience and maturity required of a Judge hearing cases involving up to 6 mos in jail and $10,000 civilly. The ability to “con” voters does not a good Judge make!!!!! That is why we no longer elect any other judges than JPs. I favored popular election of JPs—but not any more UNLESS a law degree or equivalent and a minimum age of 30 is required. I am PRO-kid–but THIS $105k job is NOT one for an inexperienced, uneducated go-fer clerk like little Stevie!!!! As I said on my website, IF Sarkis went to law school and waited 8 years, I could have supported him as my successor in 2016; his election can NOT make him qualified for the job. I trust he will do his best, but the Judicial Qualificatiomns Comm. qwill probably end up removing him as they did with Judges Braun, Miranda, Garcia, McVey, Watkins, Carpenter and the Scottsdale JP elected 8 or 10 years ago whose name has slipped me. /gpk (Sour grapes??—you’re darn right—compare my credentials with the others per Rosie’s blog above)

STEVE WORKED HARD FOR WHAT HE EARNED AND NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HIM.
