Blair begins mailing ballots | News, Sports, Jobs

kstephens@altoonamirror.com
HOLLIDAYSBURG — Blair County started mailing ballots Monday to 5,558 county residents who sought to vote by mail in the May 18 primary.
The option, embraced last year by about 16,000 county voters interested in avoiding COVID-19 risks and in casting ballots in the hotly contested presidential race, is attracting some interest this year for the upcoming primary. That’s when Republican and Democratic voters will select candidates for state judicial, county, municipal and school board posts, and when all registered voters can weigh in on four statewide ballot questions.
Blair County mailed letters in February to about 15,000 registered voters who last year indicated an interest in receiving future applications to vote by mail, Director of Elections Sarah Seymour told the elections board at its recent meeting.

Judge urges county raises | News, Sports, Jobs

kstephens@altoonamirror.com
HOLLIDAYSBURG — Blair County President Judge Elizabeth Doyle has called upon the salary board to minimize the delay of enacting non-union pay raises recommended in a recent study.
In commenting Thursday during a salary board meeting to work on the county’s first compensation policy, Doyle said she joins Commissioner Laura Burke in urging the board to enact recommended non-union raises retroactive to the beginning of 2021.
“To delay,” the judge said, “increases the likelihood that we will lose more good employees and brings to mind the phrase, ‘Justice delayed is justice denied.'”
Doyle’s reference to the loss of employees was based on recent resignations by adult parole and probation officers.
