CONWAY — A town vote on whether North Conway Village should have taxpayer-funded public bathrooms ended up in a tie, and it seems headed for a recount. No one can recall an article ever tying at the polls before this.
Residents voted Tuesday at the Conway Town Garage in Center Conway from 8 a.m.-7 p.m. A total of 1,219 people voted, down from about 1,500 last year.
