A deadlocked Pennsylvania Supreme Court has allowed the proposed wording of a ballot question that could raise the mandatory judicial retirement age to stand in its current form.
Passage of the constitutional amendment would change the retirement age from 70 to 75. Chief Justice Thomas G. Saylor, who would be forced to retire at the end of this year if the vote is unsuccessful, recused himself from the case, allowing the six remaining justices to split, 3-3, and keep the status quo in place. The public will vote on the question in November.
