The Petitioner, Delaware County Department of Social Services, is officially represented by the County Attorney.
Porter Kirkwood, who is now running for a judge, was County Attorney since 2013.
Porter Kirkwood and his entire family, according to records filed with the NYS Board of Elections, supported Becker in his re-election campaign of 2012.
I believe, such information had to be disclosed by Becker and by Kirkwood or his "of counsel" assistant County Attorney Amy Merklen.
I am sure such information was never disclosed.
I believe that there are grounds to make motions to vacate findings by Becker in favor of Porter Kirkwood's client based on such non-disclosures.
The Carl Becker side is always surprising while I have heard about him on this aspect as what he does in there. Delaware Child Services take the perfect decision on him and the writer of this article says a lot about him which is correct indeed.
