It looks like a simple question but what it fails to mention is that the retirement age is already set at 70 years.

By omitting that detail, the League of Women Voters of Greater Pittsburgh says it's a misleading question.



"That's right. I think so", league president Annettte Shimer said.

Perhaps voters should be given more clarity by asking if the retirement age should be extended from 70 to 75.

Why the question is worded as it is, isn't clear but it was created by state legislators after a joint resolution in the House and Senate.

It passed two consecutive sessions the past two years.

Now voters will see the question for a "yes" or "no" vote on Nov. 8.
