County Probe Finds No Election Flaws In Erie County
Erie County Commissioner Leo Weir concluded after interviewing every Board of Elections member in the Second District Third Ward that there were no violations of election laws in last November’s voting. He found the rear of machines was never blocked, noted two absentee ballots opened at closing, and confirmed that write-in voting was properly explained to voters. Weir emphasized he acted as a county official, not a partisan, and cautioned the investigation ends with no substantiated allegations. He also noted the search for a new polling place in the Third Ward after McCray withdrew his venue due to safety concerns amid local political tensions.

Paper Identifies New Superintendent for Corry Area District
White Corry Area School District officials refuse to name the new superintendent. A Pittsburgh area man, Charles W. Krepps, 46, of Wilkinsburg, has resigned his current job to accept the post here. Krepps, presently Wilkinsburg superintendent, will replace retiring Ray Elsen. He would earn over 26,000 but under 30,000 here, lower than his current 30,000. Krepps gained notoriety for a desegregation plan and a proposed merger of seven districts into two to address racially imbalanced districts. He reportedly resigned after public criticism of his performance.
