Andrew J. McDonald, the former co-chair of the legislative Judiciary Committee, won that panel’s overwhelming but not unanimous approval Monday to become a state Supreme Court justice. The lawyer-dominated committee voted 40-2 to send the nomination of McDonald, who is currently chief counsel in the governor’s office, to the full General Assembly.
The panel also unanimously approved eight-year terms for 10 Superior Court judges, and another term for Appellate Court Judge J. Herbert Greundel.
