NorCo Council Prez Lori Vargo Heffner Snags Governor's Award For Local Gov't Excellence

Northampton County Council President Lori Vargo Heffner is one of nine local government officials honored this year with Governor Josh Shapiro's award for local government excellent. In announcing the awards, Governor Shapiro said, "The individuals, municipalities, counties, and organizations that we are honoring today work passionately to 'get stuff done' by improving public services and making their communities better, said Governor Josh Shapiro. Their collective work has made a difference in the health, safety and quality of life of families and individuals across Pennsylvania. They are committed to making our Commonwealth a place where everyone can live, work, and thrive, and we are proud to recognize them for their dedication and excellence.”

Vargo Heffner was nominated by the County Comm'rs Ass'n of Pa.(CCAP), where she is an active member of the Board and 2020 graduate of CCAP's Center for Excellence. 

She is employed as a psychotherapist, which has given her a strong foundation to advocate for human services and mental health funding.

  1. This is an April Fool’s joke, right ? Lori does nothing constructive for the people of Northampton County as a Commissioner. She’s passed no laws that make anyone’s life any better. She is missing more and more County Council meetings, but she gets nominated for her “excellence” in an association that accomplishes nothing, and does nothing for Northampton County residents. Lori should come home and actually work on becoming excellent at the job she was elected to do.

  2. This has to be a joke- she's not as bad as the other Dems on council, but she doesn't deserve this award!

    1. Yes great job getting an award through CCAP. I mean they are a Republican based organization with Republican ideals. So they picked correctly.

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.
