I told you Monday that the Northampton County Magisterial District Judges Association voted by a bare majority, 8-7, to endorse a proposed plan that abolishes the Bethlehem Township Magisterial District. I was informed that all district judges, or their proxies, voted. That is inaccurate.
I learned yesterday that, though the vote was by bare majority and secret ballot, not all District Judges participated or even designated proxies. I am also informed that some Senior District Judges, who still belong to the judge club, voted.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I have a lot of respect for the SR. MDJ's but I don't think they should have voted. It should be for sitting Judge's only. This new proposal is a train wreck, hopefully the State Supreme Court will put an end to it.
