Post-Gazette: Piccola’s goals include merit selection
Nearly a year ago, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Sen. Jeffrey Piccola‘s top goals for reform included merit selection.
“As it is, the issues that Sen. Piccola believes should be tackled all hold great promise. Chief among them for the Post-Gazette are:
Adopting a merit selection system to choose judges. Voters should have a role in approving an appointed panel’s selection eventually, but they often don’t bother to learn enough about the candidates to make an informed initial choice.”
