Greg Johnson has a pretty good job and even better benefits. The Dauphin County magisterial district judge and his colleagues across the state earn $93,338 a year, with the possibility of a pension and lifetime health care, funded largely by taxpayers. So, it might come as a surprise that 2019 court data revealed he sometimes had proceedings scheduled just two days a week. That also allowed him to tend to his family business a nursery and landscaping company north of Harrisburg. In Delaware County, Judge Robert Radano had a nice setup, too. Setting aside weekends, holidays, and a week of training, Radano had the equivalent of five months without court appearances. He also worked a second job, as a practicing attorney.
Are we getting our money’s worth?
