Rieders Appointed to PBA Constitutional Review Commission

PBA President Clifford E. Haines has announced the creation of the PBA Constitutional Review Commission and charged it with conducting a thorough review of the state’s constitution and making recommendations to improve the structure and operation of government in the Commonwealth.

Included among the 30 members of the Commission is Lycoming Law Association member, Clifford A. Rieders.

“Government in the Keystone State clearly is not working for Pennsylvanians,” Haines said during a Feb. 23 media conference in the state Capitol Rotunda. “In rapidly changing times and conditions, our citizens should have the opportunity to call for a re-examination of the effectiveness and structure of their government. The Pennsylvania Bar Association, which had a leadership role in the convening of the limited constitutional convention in 1967-1968, stands ready to assist with this re-examination.”
