Despite nearly half of the meeting agenda being taken care of in the span of roughly 90 seconds, the remaining half of the Commissioners session did reveal a couple of grievances.
First off, Commissioner Sandie Egley took time during her weekly Board of Commissioners update on Wednesday, to briefly mention the amount of money being spent in one particular county park: Brush Creek in North Sewickley.
Meanwhile, At the Commissioner’s work session on Wednesday, the discussion of election reform was brought to the table. Lorianne Burgess, who ran for Ambridge City Council in this year’s primary, said she saw acts that were against election policy. When she was denied a complaint filing request, she took the time to discuss it with the County Commissioners:
Burgess finished with 12 percent of the vote in this year’s primary, not qualifying for the general election.
County Solicitor Garen Fedeles took upon the task of discussing further the possibility of reform with Burgess after the meeting. Commissioner Chairman Dan Camp insisted that Fedeles and Assistant Solicitor Nathan Morgan take care of it, because all of the current Commissioners were on the ballot for the 2019 primary (Camp and Tony Amadio for re-election, and Egley for County Treasurer).
The next public work session will be on June 12 at 10:00 AM.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is again directing former employees not to cooperate with a congressional investigation, this time instructing former aides Hope Hicks and Annie Donaldson not to provide documents to the House Judiciary Committee. House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler issued subpoenas for Hicks and Donaldson last month. Both women are mentioned frequently in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
PHOENIX (AP) — The biggest victims of President Donald Trump’s tariffs won’t necessarily be Mexicans or Chinese. Some experts say the people most likely to pay the steepest price are poor Americans. They already live close to the financial edge and could have to pay more for everyday purchase. Jay Shambaugh of the Brookings Institution says tariffs are a tax on consumption for many low-income households. The president has threatened to impose a 5% tax on Mexican imports.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Sen. Tim Kaine is applauding Gov. Ralph Northam’s call for a special legislative session to change Virginia’s gun laws. The Democrat from Virginia says “it’s painfully clear from the horrific shooting in Virginia Beach and the daily scourge of gun violence in communities across the Commonwealth that Virginia must pass commonsense gun safety reforms.”
HOUSTON (AP) — The cardinal leading the U.S. Catholic Church response to sex abuse is being accused of mishandling a sexual misconduct case involving his onetime deputy and a married woman.
