Supreme Court justices selection changes

On Friday November 20, the three parties agreed to work together to build a colaition that would support a constitutional amendment that would make it so that justices are appointed and stand for a retention election. Currently statewide elections are held to select justices. Moyer believes that there is a perception that campaign contributions influence judicial decisions.
