peacekeepers opened fire,
killing two people and
wounding four The body of
the second victim was not
seen.
In the hills above Port-au-
Prince, hundreds of scream
ing protesters stormed into
the upscale Montana hotel,
where election officials have
announced results of
Ttiesday’s elections.
Protesters have alleged the
electoral commission is
manipulating the vote count
to prevent Preval finm win
ning a first-round victory in
this battered and poor
Caribbear. nation.
Helicopters landed on the
roof to evacuate people. No
violence was reported at the
hotel.
THE
Big names mnning for county board
Continued from page 1A
there’s no presidential race,
but CMS remains a light
ning rod as public confidence
in the board continues to
flag. On TViesday, the board
voted to back its own educa
tion reform plan, although
public momentum has been
building for recommenda
tions pushed by a business-
backed task force.
Thxes and social programs
will also be a campaign
issue. Federal cutbacks to
health care programs and
education will force local
municipalities to either pick
up the tab or scale back ser
vices.
McGarry is the latest
school board member to test
the waters in a county elec
tion. Rembert, who lost an
at-large race for school board
in 2003, was elected commis
sioner a year later. Last year,
incumbent school board rep
resentative George Dunlap
lost an at-large commission
ers race.
