The usually loquacious Council member was characteristically laconic after his election, when most Presidents deliver inaugural addresses. "I will work hard to earn your confidence," he said to fellow Council members.
Lori Vargo Heffner, who has just one year of experience, was also unanimously elected Vice President. She is a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey. Republican John Cusick tried to nominate Bill McGee, but he declined.
Heffner made no friends on the court last year, when she objected to a position at the Juvenile Justice Center. She torpedoed the appointment of an Allentown Diocese Assistant Superintendent to the county's Drug and Alcohol Board. She also was a proponent of a county grant for the restoration of a church steeple at Easton's United Church of Christ. That grant failed.
County Council also voted unanimously to appoint Bethlehem Attorney Chris Spadoni to serve as their Solicitor this year.

A man who will admit he has learned a lot over the years. Fair and has common sense. The new blood would be wise to pay attention. Still can't understand why the dem party leadership wants to push him out.
No vote on clerk of council?
No vote on Clerk.
Why not McGee? Should Heffner be rewarded for her arrogance? I have heard she is very pushy and obnoxious. At least they didn't make he r{resident. Poor choice. Following democrat leader orders.
So right BO. Your comments on the vp are spot on and her record. Have heard that Ms. Hefner is so anxious to grab the gavel she is practically shoveling dirt on Heckman. Ambition knows no bounds.
