There were several interesting results in Conway’s election Tuesday. Incumbent school board member Mike DiGregorio was defeated, as was the article to bond a road at Settlers Green, which passed last year. The renovation of the police department, after losing the last two years, passed, and an article supporting Phase 2 of the Rec Path came up short.
There were 14 responses via email, voicemail and Facebook to this week’s Tele-Talk question: What surprised you most about Conway's election?
