Max Conway

McGloin resigned last month and Gaughan wants to county court of common pleas to run the selection process from start to finish instead of allowing the court to choose from three county Democratic Party-recommended candidates.

Party chairman Chris Patrick says executive committee chose former county official Brenda Sacco, Olyphant Council President James Baldan and Scranton School Director Bob Casey as the names to submit to the county common pleas court judges.

County officials researching if McGloin could rescind his resignation. County Democratic Party chairman says vote on potential replacements will move ahead as scheduled.

The county Democratic Party and county common pleas court judges must sign off on Conway.
