Luzerne County Manager advocates for appointed roles and governance changes, pending voter approval.

Luzerne County Manager Romilda Crocamo supports keeping the county manager position appointed rather than elected, arguing it leads to better governance by reducing political influence. She also advocates for a central law office to minimize department conflicts and proposed changes to governance, including council approval for firing the chief solicitor and removing term limits for the district attorney. The Luzerne County Government Study Commission is reviewing these proposals, with potential changes to the home rule charter requiring voter approval in the 2025 or 2026 elections.
