The Westmoreland County Commissioners held their reorganization meeting on Tuesday and retained Sean Kertes as the board chairman.
The Trib reports that as chairman, Kertes will run the public meetings, which will earn him an additional salary of $3,500 a year.
The board chair traditionally has been held by the top vote-getter in the previous year’s election. Kertes finished atop the 2023 commissioners’ ballot, receiving about 7,000 more votes than Republican Doug Chew, who finished second among the four candidates in last year’s race. Democrat Ted Kopas was elected as the third commissioner last fall.
