Westmoreland County has a new Clerk of Courts.
Megan Loughner, 35, of Unity was sworn in to office Friday to take over the final 10 months of the clerk’s term, replacing Bryan Kline. He was hired last month as the new warden of Westmoreland County Prison.
The office oversees all criminal court records and documents filed at the county courthouse.
Loughner, a Republican, has worked as a top administrator for Kline since he first took office in 2010, first as the office’s fiscal manager and for the last five years as chief deputy.
“There are no changes planned,” Loughner said. “We’ll continue Bryan’s successful collection programs and we will launch an e-filing program in mid-summer.”
