New ALJ In Wyoming

From the Casper Journal:

Administrative Law Judge Patricia Henry only has been in the state since January, but she's already making a difference for those in Wyoming who were denied Social Security benefits.

With 42 hearings a month, she's whittling away at a case load that includes 634 pending cases. Her goal is to decide 500 cases a year to try to cut down the time claimants have to wait for a decision to less than a year.

Henry is a native Texan who comes to Wyoming from an administrative law judge position in Pennsylvania.

That's what you call the real thing. An ALJ who actually works at it like it's a real job. Wow! I am blown away and wish her the best in her efforts. Way to go!
