Here’s hoping home-grown manager is the answer

by Seth Isenberg

The selection of former acting Luzerne County Manager Romilda Crocamo by the Luzerne County Council to be the next County Manager is a refreshing surprise. Crocamo, as acting manager, was a stable and no-nonsense leader whose departure into the private sector less than a year ago showed us all what was lost when that council selected someone from outside our area after a nationwide search.

It turned out what was needed was right there in front of them all.

It should be noted that Crocamo came to White Haven to speak in support of local efforts to fend off the Interstate 80 bridge tolling scheme, and that she lives in our end of the county.

We welcome her back, and wish her a great start in what we hope will be long term work for her, and a fresh start for Luzerne County’s government.
