Ripper Bill ruling in Pa Supreme Court shocks second class cities
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court rules the Ripper Bill unconstitutional, affecting municipal government changes and removal of officials midterm. The decision confines itself to legislative authority, rejecting commentary on policy while noting the charter law’s lack of perceived benefit. It cites Lincoln Grant McKinley and U.S. unity themes as historical context, then covers local notes on Memorial Day plans, veteran activities, and a correction to a high school commencement program.
