Nine more applying for Skrep’s seat

A funeral director, a prominent Back Mountain businessman and an engineer are just three of the nine people seeking to become the newest Luzerne County commissioner by submitting application Saturday, bringing the number of interested candidates to 12.

The seat became available after Commissioner Greg Skrepenak resigned Thursday and was charged Friday by the U.S. Attorney’s Office with accepting a bribe.

John T. Banks of Wilkes-Barre, James M. Desiderio Jr. of Wilkes-Barre Township, Thomas Dombroski of Trucksville, Phillip Knobel of Exeter, Joseph A. Naperkowski of Wilkes-Barre, Antonio J. Rodriquez of Hazleton, Robert L. Shainline Sr. of Pittston, Gary R. Shupp of Mountain Top and Beth Ann Wenner of Freeland submitted paperwork by noon on Saturday.
