The Times-Tribune politics reporter Borys Krawczeniuk breaks down the Primary election by taking a look at what happened to Jerry Notarianni and if reassessment was to blame.

Borys also digs into the emergence of Bill Gaughan onto the Lackawanna County stage, what Matt McGloin is going to need to learn to be a commissioner, and how local voters sought change and younger leadership.

Over the past several years Borys has been tracking a change in voter registration in Lackawanna County and Pennsylvania. The increase in the number of registered Republicans and a drop in the number of registered Democrats may have NEPA shifting toward purple instead of blue.

We also ask Borys about the changes voters made to the Scranton School Board, the re-emergence of Nibs Loughney in Dunmore, the first new mayor in Carbondale in almost 20 years, and what we can expect in November.
