2015 Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas Retention
(Vote Yes or No)
Carol K. McGinley
-So far I have been unable to find any info on the performance of this judge. When I am met with a situation like this I vote 'No' for retention, and the judge in question is free to run again for this office if they so choose. I do not believe that judges should receive special treatment when it comes to retaining their offices, and any judge that fails to even have a website stating the reasons they should be retained is certainly not worth a yes vote. These judges think they can get away with this though since its so rare that a judge is NOT retained...let's stop giving judges endless terms in office!!
(Sorry this one turned into a rant, but I'm sick of elected officials not putting effort into their campaigns and the voters still voting for them!!)
