Filed Friday, May 18, 2007 at 12:00 PM

Missouri Supreme Court Judge Ronnie White announced today that he will retire effective July 6, ending a week of speculation and rumors.

“I congratulate Judge Ronnie White for many years of service,” said Gov. Matt Blunt in a statement. “I have certainly appreciated my opportunities to visit with him over the past few years. Melanie and I wish Judge White the very best in his retirement.”

“I am committed to appointing a Missouri Supreme Court judge who will faithfully interpret our constitution and will not legislate from the bench,” said Blunt.
