"Too Old to Judge? Albany Reconsiders," by Jesse McKinley (New York Times)
Money Quote: "The [New York State] Legislature has been considering a bill that would amend the State Constitution, if approved by voters, to extend the retirement age to 80 for hundreds of judges statewide, including the chief judge of the Court of Appeals, Jonathan Lippman. 'The 70-year-old that existed in the 1890's is not the 70-year-old of today,' said Assemblywoman Helene E. Weinstein, Democrat of Brooklyn, who sponsored the bill."
Ya, there will be plenty of jobs when the Boomers all retire. Just keeping telling yourself that.
