Do you get to vote for a Lehigh Valley district judge? A guide to who’s running where.
Updated 10:05 AM;
Voters across the Lehigh Valley are choosing a number of judicial seats in the May 18 primary, including magisterial district judges.
District judges handle preliminary arraignments and preliminary hearings in criminal cases to determine if the cases will move on to county court, as well as landlord-tenant disputes, traffic offenses and civil actions where the amount claimed does not exceed $12,000.
District judges serve six-year terms, and are paid an annual salary of $93,338. Some incumbents are running unopposed this year, and incumbents are identified on this list by an “I” after their name.
Commuters to New Jersey be warned: Repairs on I-78 bridge in Easton area now indefinite Jennifer Sheehan, The Morning Call
Commuters to New Jersey will face continued headaches as one lane of I-78 east on the Pennsylvania side of the toll bridge will remain closed indefinitely for repairs, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission said Wednesday.
The right lane closure is just shy of the New Jersey border in Williams Township, east of the Morgan Hill Road/PA Route 611 interchange. Two lanes remain open to traffic.
The commission closed the lane Tuesday for safety reasons. A section of an expansion joint where the bridge meets the New Jersey-side roadway broke off and became a travel hazard.
