CAMBRIA COUNTY – According to WJACTV.com, Cambria County may eliminate at least two magisterial district judges because of a drop in population.
On Wednesday night, the public was given the opportunity to ask county officials about the plan.
Cambria County is hoping to eliminate the two seats through attrition; two magistrates in the county plan to retire soon.
President Judge Timothy Creany said, “Looking and comparing our numbers to other counties, we realized we probably had to reduce by two districts to come into parity with what every other county our size has.”
Public meetings are scheduled in Vinco, Ebensburg, Cresson, Portage and Hastings over the next week.
