Changes in county committee rules for primaries shift power
Regular election boards will run spring primaries under the new law, ending candidate assessment fees once common under old rules. President Getty chaired the meeting at the court house with secretary Stevenson, noting many candidates attended and that no assessments will be levied this cycle. The St Cloud hotel luncheon, funded by candidate John K Tener, was a focal point as Tener engaged with committee members about his strength across the county.
