Sand, DiGregorio for selectmen
Budget committee survives challenge BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Stacy Sand will join incumbent Michael DiGregorio on the board of selectmen, and the budget committee will keep its legal authority as a result of Tuesday’s election. Ray Shakir also lost his seat on the budget committee, the town got a new moderator and the police department has a shot at two new police officers. Sand was the top vote winner in a tight race, with 741. She was just 14 votes ahead of DiGregorio and 45 ahead of Steven Porter. “It’s a little overwhelming,” Sand said after the polls closed. “I thought I’d be lucky if I got second.”
