New director elected at Tri-County annual meeting

MANSFIELD (July 9, 2005) — Tri-County Rural Electric Cooperative members voted in one new director and re-elected two incumbents at the utility’s 2005 annual meeting, held Saturday,
July 9, at the Consistory in Coudersport

In a two-way race for directorship for District 3, Nick Reitter of Genesee defeated incumbent Ralph Snyder of North Fork, who was seeking his 11th term as director. Reitter is a retired electrical engineering technology professor from Alfred State University.

Tri-County members also unanimously re-elected Barb Seeley of Mansfield to a fourth term as District 5 director. Incumbent Jay Haldeman of Galeton was unanimously re-elected to a sixth term on the board representing District 9. Seeley and Haldeman ran unopposed in the election.

Three of Tri-County’s nine board seats were up for election this year. Directors are elected to three-year terms.

Guest speaker at the co-op’s annual meeting was former Lt. Gov. William Scranton, who said he is considering running for governor next year. Scranton lamented that
“bad politics” has resulted in the state “slipping backwards.”

“My view is that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has not done with its politics what every enterprise has had to do in the last 20 years: keep up with the times,” he said. “I want to see a Pennsylvania that is competitive,” Scranton said. “This is a magnificent state; our best days are not behind us; they can be ahead of us.”
