Jerry Seyfried Re-Appointed to Retirement Board

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.

  1. 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.

  2. Mr.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.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
