SPOKANE, WASHINGTON --Senior Judge Alan McDonald of Yakima,
Washington, was recently listed as the richest man on the state's
federal bench. An article in the Spokesman-Review estimates his net
worth to be between $8.3 million and $38.9 million.
McDonald is the same judge that the Spokesman-Review criticized in
January for passing notes with a clerk which made fun of people in his
courtroom. The notes had poked fun at blacks, Mormons, a prosecutor, and
various attorneys. In order to document these claims the newspaper
obtained notes a lawyer had taken from the wastebasket during a trial
before McDonald.
