Traffic Tribunal chief candidates to be interviewed

PROVIDENCE -- A committee this afternoon will interview five candidates for the new post of state Traffic Tribunal chief magistrate, a $132,062-per-year position.

The candidates are:

* William R. Guglietta, of Cranston, chief legal counsel to House Majority Leader Gordon D. Fox, D-Providence, and a part-time Cranston Municipal Court judge.

* Kelly A. McElroy, of Warwick, a special assistant attorney general in the criminal division since 2000.

* Bruce W. McIntyre, of Jamestown, deputy legal counsel at the state Health Department, where he's been legal adviser to the Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline since 1991.

* Gail M. Valuk, of Richmond, a lawyer and deputy state court administrator since 2001.

* William J. Vescera, of Woonsocket, a lawyer with a private practice in Johnston.

The legislature this year created the chief magistrate post, removing the tribunal from under District Court Chief Judge Albert E. DeRobbio.

The legislature put Supreme Court Chief Justice Frank J. Williams in charge of the appointment, and he created a selection committee: Traffic Tribunal Judge Edward C. Parker, lawyer and former Democratic state Rep. Alfred A. Russo Jr., and AAA Southern New England senior vice president Robert P. Murray.
