During a recent government meeting, community members voiced their concerns regarding local judicial practices and the welfare of children in Lewis County. The session began with a reminder that attendees could share their grievances with the commissioners, although responses from officials would be limited.
Robert Johnson from Castle Rock took the podium to express his distress over the custody case involving his granddaughter, Lily Amoroso. Johnson accused Judge Paul Stroffy of bias and misconduct, claiming that his granddaughter was unjustly taken from their family due to the judge's prejudiced behavior. He further criticized another judge, David Mustachkin, who he described as having a troubled history, including charges of driving under the influence. Johnson's emotional plea highlighted his frustration with the judicial system, urging the commissioners to intervene and address what he termed \"egregious injustice.\"
Following Johnson, Ray Chapman Wilson from Centralia shifted the focus to community safety and prosperity. He praised Representative Marie Glusenkamp Perez for her efforts in advocating for children's rights and improving the overall welfare of families in the area. Wilson emphasized the importance of collaboration among public servants and the community to ensure a brighter future for children in Lewis County.
The meeting underscored significant concerns regarding the local judicial system and the impact of leadership on community welfare, reflecting a deep commitment among residents to advocate for change and support for families.
