Nationally, voters’ will wait to see who will make it as President of the United States. Closer to home, they will wait for the final vote on local leaders – boards of supervisors, city council, school and hospital boards.
In Inyo County, Mark Tillemans and incumbent Supervisor Marty Fortney are in a race for the Fourth District. Jim Gentry and Matt Kingsley vie for 5th District Supervisor. Voters have asked the candidates about how they will handle the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, a loss of state money, and local revenues.
In the City of Bishop three seats are up for election – those held by incumbents Dave Stottlemyre, Susan Cullen and Laura Smith. They are running for re-election. Keith Glidewell and Pat Gardner are challenging them. City voters have focused on the business community and how to strengthen it.
School board elections also exist in Big Pine and Independence. In Big Pine, with three open seats, there are four candidates – Denelle Carrington, Robert Vance, Carla Bacoch and Sandra Lund. In Independence, three seats are also up for a vote. Candidates are April Zelak, Aldene Felton and Sandra Anderson.
In Mono County two candidates want the new District 4 Supervisor seat. The area includes part of Mammoth Lakes, Antelope Valley and Bridgeport. The candidates are Tim Fesko and Bob Peters.
There is a race for two seats on the Mammoth Unified School District board. The candidates are John Stavlo, Shana Stapp and Luis Villanueva.
Results are expected to come together late tonight at the Independence and Bridgeport courthouses. We will post results on our website.

The income inequality scale looks just like it did before the great depression, Hey dingo can you tell me how much the current budget is for our defense? Do you know how much it was in 05 when we had 200,000 troops on the ground? I’ll cut to the chase,… Read more »
You would think that by now the GOP would start to figure out that they must come up with a different notion of an “American” than an old white man. They should also come understand why it is that 70% of the Latino vote when to Obama. But they still… Read more »
All the old grumpy tea-baggers and Republicans……Think of the bright side to this…..You got four more years…at least…to continue with the bitching,complaining,and blaming President Obama for everything that doesn’t go how you feel it should in this Country..America has spoken..live with the results or leave…
Let me know when the EBT doesn’t get charged back up.

Those lunatic Teabaggers (nutty old, white men) gave the GOP a black eye. America at large simply cannot relate to their nuttiness.

Agreed, Wayne. Until the GOP can come up with something better than “This is all about us old, white men” they will lose again and again. 70% of the Latino voters went for Obama. Why do you suppose this is? Then you have the guy in Indiana who said, “If… Read more »
Why……100% agree with you…..At times,it seems the GOP WANTS to lose….maybe so all the “old white men” will continue to have things to complain about..Good examples of that….back in 2008,they FINALLY got someone decent to run against the Dems….and what do they do ?….pick Sarah “the mamma grizzly” Palin as… Read more »
My guy didn’t win I can live with that, I have to. But my concern is with our troops and diplomats around the world. I believe their safety is in jeopardy now more than ever. I believe Obama is oblivious to how dangerous their jobs can be.
Dingo, it’s the job of the host country to protect foreign diplomates.
America did not lose! Your wrong! America would have lost if we gave corporations more power. Here is my prime example of why it is bad for America to leave the power the corporations have and or give them more by way of electing Mr. “corporations are people my friend”,… Read more »
I don’t totally disagree with you JAE, Monsanto spent for this and hedge guys spent for their proposition which swayed good people to make ignorant choices based on a TV ad and not the facts but corporations are also who employ most of the folks. I for one am not… Read more »
We all listen to mainstream news too much and believe what they feed us! Yes of course they employ a lot of folks, but to explain why they are making record profits and the income inequality is a outcome of corporations getting 1st amendment rights. If you look at the… Read more »

I Voted Romney/Ryan…. yeah baby. We need a President who will hold himself accountable for his actions.
Gonna be over soon…….Ohio in a few minutes….maybe Florida…..and then the West Coast…..Bye-Bye Mittens…….Try to double-talk the American voters another year……
Corporations are not people and Money is not freedom of speech! I can’t express how important that is for the income inequality and the way corporations have way too much power in our Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branch’s! So not only was I voting for the good President Obama did… Read more »
