PRIMARY ELECTION 2011 2 MAY 10, 2011 (Vote for two) T erm: 4 years Salary: $91,174, and $92,174 for chairman. The three county commis- sioners serve as the managers and administrators of county government. They award con- tracts; determine the rate of salary increases for county offi - cials; prepare the annual county budget; and appoint residents to boards, commissions, and au- thorities. They oversee such varied county programs and facilities as social services, public safe- ty, public defenders, elections, agricultural preservation, the county planning commission and the county prison and youth intervention center. Assisting the commissioners are offi cials who fi ll the “row” offi ces, such as the clerk of courts, coroner, district attor- ney, prothonotary, register of wills, sheriff and treasurer. Each party nominates two candidates for commissioner. Because there are only two can- didates from each party running, the primary is uncontested. In the fall general election, the top three vote-getters will win seats on the board of commissioners.

About this guide Pennsylvania primary rules Pennsylvania is a closed-primary state. In Pennsylvania, you may vote for candidates only in the party with which you are reg- istered. Republicans vote for Republican candidates; Democrats vote for Democratic candidates. If you are registered “independent” or in one of the minor par- ties (such as Libertarian, Consumer, Patriot, Constitutional), you may not vote for major-party candidates in the primary elections, but you may vote on ballot questions. Independent or minor party voters must ask for a special ballot for ballot questions. T wo local municipalities have ballot questions this year. For more informa- tion on those ballot questions, see Page 4. Minor political parties do not conduct primaries but circulate and fi le nomination papers to nominate candidates directly to the November ballot. Candidates who run and lose in the primary may not fi le nomination papers in the same year unless it is for an offi ce that did not appear on the primary ballot. The purpose of the League of Women Voters is to promote po- litical responsibility through informed and active participation in government. The League is nonpartisan: It does not support or op- pose any political party or candidate. Nothing in this guide should be construed as an endorsement of any candidate by the League of Women Voters.

Reply: The jail remains one of the more challenging issues facing us today. While recent proposals have focused on building another jail, operating multiple facilities makes little fi nancial sense. The existing jail is functionally obsolete and will only cost more over time. The fi scally responsible choice is to operate one modern facility that meets county needs. How- ever before building, we must employ proven treatment and supervision services and realize greater court effi ciency without compromising public safety.

Supervised and di- rected police detectives during decade-long tenure as sergeant with Boston Housing Authority Police. Reply: Having worked with others for years to help the pris- on board improve the manage- ment and ethics of the Lancast- er County Prison, it is my fi rm belief that much more action by the board is still needed. A di- rect and comprehensive review of management practices needs to be conducted immediately, and in conjunction with the re- cent hirings of the new deputy wardens.

Reply: With initiatives al- ready completed, like camera, code of ethics and restructuring initiatives, we must continue to implement measures that in- crease accountability and safe- ty for employees and inmates. We must implement “outside the box” reforms that improve court effi ciency to reduce over- crowding and maintain “hard cells” for those who truly need it. Must support growth of spe- cialty courts and re-entry man- agement efforts to address underlying root cause of some crime, reduce recidivism and save tax dollars.
