Garry Foltz took the center seat from the outset at the meeting of the Harford Township Supervisors on January 3. The session began with the annual reorganization, following the election of Doug Phelps, who replaces Terry VanGorden at the table.

Mr. Foltz was elected to the chair by his colleagues. Mr. Phelps took vice-chair. Supervisor Sue Furney is still the township Secretary/Treasurer, bonded at $900,000.

Was it luck? Skill? Or fate? On Tuesday, January 3, Alan Hall, Michael Giangrieco, and Mary Ann Warren were sworn in as Susquehanna County’s Commissioners for the 2012-2016 term at 8:30 a.m. in the main courtroom of the Courthouse. In time-honored tradition the three commissioners met soon thereafter - at 10 - to reorganize county government. In seconds, the seismic shock of Democratic takeover four years past faded into history as Commissioner Warren passed the gavel to newly-elected Chairman Hall. Reelected Republican Giangrieco was pressed into service as Vice-Chairman.

The commissioners’ reorganization took a mere three minutes, but mightily reshuffled card assignments in the county’s deck of doers. With Mr. Hall serving as Chairman, Mr. Giangrieco as Vice-Chairman, and Ms. Warren as Commissioner, the three serve in identical positions on these boards also: County Board of Election, Retirement Board, Salary Board, and Board of Assessment Revision.
