Brush Creek & Election Reform: The June 5 Commissioner Work Session

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

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.
