Martin Jr., R. v. Donegal Twp., Aplts.

Summary

The Supreme Court held that Pennsylvania’s Section 402(e) of the Second Class Township Code is constitutional as applied when a township reduces its board of supervisors from five members to three, because the provision does not constitute a removal of elected officials under Article VI, Section 7. The Court also found that Iams lacked standing and that Martin’s claim was moot, and therefore reversed the Commonwealth Court’s decision.
