Smart Talk Focuses on Merit Selection

Published by at 8:50 am under Merit Selection,Merit Selection News

This morning at 9:30 PMC Executive Director Lynn Marks will appear on WITF’s Smart Talk (89.5 and 93.33 FM Harrisburg)  to discuss Merit Selection and the Governor’s call for the legislature to move the legislation.

Passage by the legislature is only the first step in the lengthy constitutional amendment process.  If the legislation passes this session, it must pass again during the 2011-2012 session.  Then, it would go on the ballot for the public to vote in a referendum.  We can only change the way we select appellate judges if the people  of Pennsylvania vote to do so.  We hope the public will get the chance to make that decision.
