110. Voted no on that one.

This from our local ward leader

"Raising the Judicial Retirement Age from 70 to 75: Vote NO. This question already was rejected in May but was invalidated by GOP leaders in Harrisburg. This version is intentionally reworded in a misleading way. Long story short, it’s a ploy to try to keep the PA Supreme Court led by a Republican through 2021, to ensure that post-2020 Census redistricting by the GOP-led legislature passes judicial muster. It’s a scummy move, and we need to reject it."
