SUNBURY - Northumberland County Controller Anthony L. Phillips appointed Staci Raker, of Sunbury, as first deputy controller Tuesday.
Raker, who serves as the retirement administrator and AP specialist in the controller's office, will retain her title and salary associated with the position, said Phillips in a letter to the commissioners, which was forwarded to The News-Item by Chairman Frank Sawicki.
She will possess and discharge all the rights, powers and duties of the controller during any necessary absences, according to the letter.
Phillips, the former deputy controller, had served as acting controller since the resignation early this year of Charles Erdman, who accepted a position with the Corbett administration.
