I oppose this bill because it reduces transparency or public accountability and does not meaningfully improve outcomes for New Hampshire residents.

We voted no on this during the last election despite the deceptive wording. This is not a change the people want.

We are pushing the age limit on this already. I think we should roll it back to 65 honestly.

We need to help judges cycle out faster to just get the bad ones out. We've seen the kind of damage bad ones do. Article from 2024 shows judges can stay way too long even with 70 yo limit. https://www.nhpr.org/politics/2024-10-31/ballot-question-constitutional-amendment-judges-retirement-age-70-75-data
