Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

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

October 24, 2024

Summary

Justice McCaffery filed a concurring opinion agreeing that the Commonwealth Court order must be reversed because Section 402(e) of the Second Class Township Code does not authorize removal from office and does not violate Article VI, Section 7 of the Pennsylvania Constitution. He concurs with the reversal but disagrees with the majority’s view that Article VI, Section 7 is the exclusive means for removal of a civil officer.
