The state House last night backed an overhaul the probate court system that would shrink the numbers of courts from 117 to 54 across Connecticut.
Instead of having its own court, Bristol would be combined with neighboring Plainville and Plymouth.
"Bristol would be the hub," said state Rep. Frank Nicastro, a Bristol Democrat who joined the overwhelming majority to approve the measure.
Nicastro said the city's entire delegation favored the proposal. He said he was pleased with the outcome.
Probate Court Judge Andre Dorval has been working for months to ensure that Bristol wouldn't wind up with the short stick as the reform moved forward.

Too bad he couldn't do anything to stop the democrats from raising taxes ( motor vehicle fees ) so soon after they forced thru such a lousy budget .
Good job Andre and don't pay any attention to these jerks on here . They always complain about what a Democrat does any way. But they are just usleess voices in the mix of HOT AIR as usual.
Taxes as you call them (motor vehicle fees) were originally proposed by your beloved governor Jodi Rell and now she wants to veto them? That makes about as much sense as you trying to blame all her misdoings on the Democrats. Wake up will ya ?
