Voters to Decide When Judges Retire
The Times-Picayune reports that voters will decide this fall whether judges may stay on the bench past their 70th birthday.
The proposed constitutional amendment came in House Bill 19 by Rep. Mickey Frith, D-Kaplan, which the Senate approved 27-9 Monday. It would let judges finish their term even after turning 70, currently the maximum age allowed.
