Letter on Election Board Makeup
A letter to Lackawanna County President Judge James Gibbons seeks clarity on the proper composition of the county Board of Elections.
Democratic Commissioner Bill Gaughan claims this letter is part of a scheme by Democratic Commissioner Brenda Sacco to remain in office despite the special election to decide her successor.
The election board, currently composed of county Judges Terrence R. Nealon, Margaret Bisignani-Moyle, and Frank Ruggiero, will certify the results of the upcoming contest.
Normally, commissioners would play this role, but since the office of commissioner is on the ballot, judges have taken on this responsibility.
It's a scheme by Democratic Commissioner Brenda Sacco to remain in office.
