The votes are in

Over 53-percent of Trimble County's registered voters went to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 4 to cast their ballots for U.S. President, members of Congress and local school board and city commission candidates.

The McCain/Palin ticket proved a winner locally, with 2,239 votes in comparison to 1,484 for Obama/Biden.

Incumbents in all three school board races will continue in their positions next January. J.W. Sachleben was unopposed in District 4, Kimberly Temple received over 400 votes more than her closest competitor in District 1 and Scott Burrows, in District 5, received 439 votes compared to his competitor's 160.

In the city of Milton, the commission seats will remain unchanged, though write-in incumbent Gerald Owen squeaked by with just 7 more votes than Cecil Robak, also a write-in candidate.

The Bedford Commission will, however, see changes in the coming year as Todd Pollock, who received more votes than any other candidate, will replace incumbent James Helm on the board.
