School results - Daugherty wins UPDATED
When we called the race earlier, the only official results available for the runoff were for early and absentee voting, which Daugherty carried 113-107. But workers for both candidates -- gathering votes by checking posted totals at individual precincts -- were coming up with similar tallies giving Daugherty the victory. This turnout was an increase of more than 50 percent over the first election, which Daugherty led 808-806. Two other candidates picked up 193 more votes in the first election. (The Pulaski County Election Commission had problems with its Internet provider, which hampered reporting of vote totals Tuesday night.) I drove around to a few polls myself to gather some early votes. I checked the biggest individual poll for Daugherty and Swaim in the first election and a large box with a split vote.
Bail set for LaGrange man in wife's death
David Smart, a cousin of the victim who lives in Penobscot County, offered to put up two pieces of property he owns to secure Hart's release. He told Cuddy that he estimated the amount of equity he had in a camp near Hart's LaGrange home and his primary residence to be $100,000. Hart continued late Saturday to be held at Penobscot County Jail unable to make bail. Smart said putting up Hart's bail would not be a "popular" thing to do with the victim's family. He did not identify where he lived. If Hart were to make bail, conditions would include not possessing guns and not having contact with witnesses or members of his late wife's family. His three children, ages 2 to 9, are living with one of his late wife's sisters in Oklahoma and are not on the no-contact list. Assistant Attorney General Andrew Benson, who is prosecuting the case, argued that Hart be held without bail.
