In announcing his
County = Commissioner,
Robert Allerdyce, Chase,
explained his reasons for
entering the race.
“I will do my best to im-
prove the image of
Luzerne County. We must
place people in office who
can motivate the com-
munity towards the
politics of consensus, not
confrontation.”
Allerdyce will seek only
one term as com-
missioner, as he believes
it is all he needs to put the
community back on track
to good government. More
people can participate
and more ideas can be
introduced with new
people in office who do not
have to make decisions
based on seeking re-
election, he says.
Allerdyce believes a
vote for him is a unique
opportunity to, «elect
someone who is not the
machine. “I call the shots
as I see them,” he said.
He looks upon the
position as a part-time
one, saying, ‘‘The role of
county government is that
Robert Allerdyce
the commissioners set
policy carried out by a
group of department
heads, managers and
administrators.’”’ He
pointed out present
commissioners’ salaries
are $30,240 for the
chairman, and $29,160 for
the other two. These
salaries will be increased
to $38,000 by 1986. “I
oppose the salary in-
creases and, if elected,
will introduce a motion to
roll them back.
“We see lines of people
today at locations for free
cheese and butter. The
commissioners showed
poor leadership in raising
their salaries when some
of the people in these lines
are picking up the tab. I
always thought good
leadership showed
through example.”
Allerdyce further noted
the national median
average income is $22,388,
with Luzerne County
averaging about $14,000.
“The commissioners’
salaries are way out of
line, especially for part-
time positions.
“Employees and em-
ployers are making
sacrifices in salary
reductions, loss of
benefits and closing of
businesses. The present
commissioners do not
have their fingers on the
pulse of the community,”
he added.
Allerdyce, 51, is
married to the former
Martha Bogdon of
Plymouth. The couple has
three children. He is
employed as an insurance
salesman. He is also a
member of the Wyoming
Valley Chapter of Penn-
sylvanians for Human
Life; Gate of Heaven
Church and the Gate of
Heaven Church Choir.

If re-elected to the
board, Pisaneschi says he
will continue his efforts to
upgrade education at
minimal costs, maintain
the present facilities
within the district and
work toward the improve-
ment of extra-curricular
programs. He also is
concerned with some of
the discipline problems
within the district and will
place emphasis on
resolving these problems.
Pisaneschi and his wife,
the former Shirley Root,
are the parents of two
children, Albert, Jr. and
Lee, both graduates of
Dallas Senior High
School.
“I have long been in-
terested in the programs
of the Dallas School
District,” said
Pisaneschi, “I will do
everything that I can to
improve both the
scholastic and activity
programs for the
students. The public
school system plays a
major role in the futures
of our young people.”
Pisaneschi is a member
of George M. Dallas
Masonic Lodge No. 531,
Dallas; Caldwell Con-
sistory, Bloomsburg, and
