Tonight PMC/PMCAction Executive Director Lynn Marks will appear on PCN’s Call In Program. The show airs live from 7:00-8:00pm . The program will focus on judicial elections and Merit Selection, and viewers can call toll-free, 1-877-PA6-5001 (1-877-726-5001) to join the discussion. Also appearing will be Barry Kauffman of Common Cause PA and Russ Diamond of PA Cleansweep.

On May 14, PMC Board Chair Bob Heim will address the Commonwealth Foundation’s Policy and Principles Luncheon. The topic is “Choosing Our Judges: Election vs. Selection.” Heim will be joined by Russ Diamond Founder and Chairman of PA Clean Sweep.

We look forward to an engaging discussion. As we reported in an earlier post, Heim and Diamond recently appeared together on 1210 Tonight with Anthony Mazzarelli (WPHT 1210 AM, the Big Talker). Although they have different views about the best way to select appellate judges, they agreed that the voters should get the chance to weigh in on this question.

This is the key point — it is time to let the voters decide.
