have been allocations that the courts were not consulted. Commissioner Irey Vaughn read the following
email that was received from the Register of Wills/Clerk of Orphans Court James Roman, dated
April 4, 2021, and addressed to President Judge DiSalle and Judge Lucas:
Judge DiSalle & Judge Lucas
`2 should like to apologise for the lack of progre s inyesterday's meeting. Honestly, I seas embarrassed for Laura and the lack of
consensus building. This meeting felt like it wasted everyone's time.
I greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss my needs and desire to have Landex for my office. I am in complete agreement with
everyone that Thomas Reuters is the choice and a united front needs to be presented to the Commissioners. We have a unique opportunity
with the additional Coronavirus funds coming to the County and this should be spent wisely. As such, I will attempt to work with Laura
over the next week or two and attempt to get her to unite with everyone else so we can quickly move this forward. Now is the time to get this
done.
Thank you for being respectful and offering this platform of unity!
Thanks,
Jim

Register of Wills/Clerk of Orphans Court
Mrs. Vaughan announced there were meetings and consultations with the row offices and I wanted to
set the record straight with some of their concerns. She replied that Ms. Loutzenhiser had a number of
figures that were on the back of the audit report she gave out. Also, Mrs. Vaughan stated they have no
control over the citizenship. She suggested, in response to the 9,000 voters being removed from the voter
rolls and citizenship, to contact Rep. Guy Reschenthaler's office or state Sen Camera Bartolotta's office, this
is not at the County level. Mrs. Vaughan remarked regarding the decertification of the voting machines and
the same as with Doug Mastriano being removed from the board he was on, and we have no control over this
and is at the State level. She remarked Rep. Cook was here and maybe he can help.
The administrative reviews are ongoing and have been ongoing for quite some time. Observer -
Reporter journalist Mike Jones had an article in the paper stating the intent to do administrative reviews of
everything going at the County and agents of the county. An agent of the county is defined as an entity that is
providing a service that has been funded with taxpayer dollars.
Melinda Smith is concerned about election assistance and was asked by Mrs. Vaughan to provide this
information to us, this was the first Mrs. Vaughan has heard of this.
