-- "Brooklyn Surrogate’s Court Judge Harriet Thompson, who was accused of making vile racist and anti-gay remarks has agreed to step down — claiming a shoulder injury has left her unable to fight misconduct allegations. CJC Administrator Robert Tembeckjian said the case against Thompson 'was egregious and, if established at trial, would have warranted her removal from office.' Thompson was paid a $210,900 yearly salary." --
