Jerry and his wife, Julie |
Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure has re-appointed Gerald E. "Jerry" Seyfried as the retiree representative of the Retirement Board. This Board's basic role is managing the pension funds, but Seyfried successfully lobbied for restoration of at least some of the health benefits retirees currently enjoy. For years, he has also helped organize a semi-annual luncheon for the county's former workers.
Jerry is a former Executive, County Council member and cabinet official. He still carries a dog-eared copy of the Home Rule Charter. He is an excellent archer who spends much of his free time in the outdoors. He told me he'll skip his confirmation tonight because he's in a Hearts tournament at the casino.
As a retiree, I am very happy to hear that Mr. Seyfried has been re-appointed as the retiree representative of the Retirement Board. He has done, and I know he will continue to do, an excellent job as our representative.
ReplyDeleteMr.Seyfried is making sure that we are not abused in our retiree healthcare. Sadly, many of us run out of the moony limit and are forced into very high deductibles.
