An excerpt...
" Bucks County Commissioner Sandy Miller suffered a damaging rebuke from members of her own political party Saturday, possibly signaling the end of her record-setting tenure on the county's most powerful governing board.
Miller came in dead last at a gathering where several hundred members of the Bucks County Democratic Committee decided which candidates to endorse ahead of this year's primary election.

Party activists gave their endorsements to two Lower Bucks township supervisors. According to provisional results, Steve Santarsiero of Lower Makefield won 239 votes from the committee, and Diane Marseglia of Middletown took 230 votes.
Miller's preferred running mate, former county Commissioner — and ex-Republican — Andy Warren earned 214 votes.
Miller got 191 but said at this point she plans to remain in the race. The Republican and Democratic parties each are allowed to nominate two candidates in May's primary election, with the three top vote-getters in November's general election taking office. The party that wins two of the three seats controls county government, which oversees thousands of jobs and a budget of more than $448 million, for the commissioners' four-year terms.
Miller has been the only Democratic commissioner since she was appointed to the board by a panel of judges to fill a vacancy in 1991. She's been elected by voters four times since." |
