Guest Op-Ed: A vote for the ages
BY JOSEPH F. DEFELICE
When you vote on November 5, 2013, you will find a number of propositions on your ballot.
Proposition 6 refers to the maximum mandatory retirement age for certain judges of our state courts. In particular, the proposal, which would amend Sections 2 and 25 of Article VI of the New York State Constitution, would permit justices of the Supreme Court, who now must retire at 70 years of age but can obtain three two year extensions so that service actually can be extended to 76 years, to serve until 80 years of age.
