New judge Sutton promises to balance duty with public care

Pitt County’s newest judge said that she is grateful to voters for entrusting her with the responsibility of the bench and that her intention going forward is to balance legal duty with public care. “The law functions to serve the people. It seems to me in our current political climate, perhaps there has been a neglect of serving people,” said Democrat Watisi Sutton, who unseated two-term Republican judge Daniel Hines Entzminger in the Nov. 3 midterm election 34,518 to 28,305 votes. The total includes provisional and absentee ballots counted Tuesday, but not change from Friday’s canvass. She will serve a four-year term as one of six judges on the District Court bench in Pitt County, which makes up the state 3rd Judicial District. She brings 26 years of legal experience to the post, with her experiences spanning prosecution, public defense, civil aid and municipal government, she said. Sutton’s career includes work as an assistant district attorney in the 2nd Judicial District, managing attorney for Legal Aid’s New Bern office, a town attorney for Williamston and 16 years in a private practice in her hometown of Washington. Within her private practice, Sutton handled criminal defense, family law, civil matters, bankruptcy and

Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found

Consumers complained about fuel quality at two dozen gas Triangle stations recently, and state inspectors found issues at a handful of them. Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, customers submitted complaints about 24 stations in Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The Standards Division didn’t receive any complaints about Orange County stations during that time. Complaints were made about 20 Wake County stations, two in Johnston and one each in Durham and Chatham, according to records obtained by The News & Observer. In the complaints, drivers reported a variety of issues with their vehicles including: losing power, having difficulty starting; check engine lights turning on; and engines stalling. Some people reported taking their cars to mechanics, who said the cars were filled with contaminated fuel. Inspectors followed up on the complaints and discovered fuel quality problems at five stations, all in Wake County. Tests are conducted at stations and in the lab to ensure that fuel meets the advertised ethanol content, octane rating and other specifications. That way, consumers get what they’re paying for , and don’t inadvertently damage their vehicles with contaminated fuel. Here’s what the tests showed. Fuel
