She’s in
The Indiana General Assembly voted unanimously today to confirm Kathy Davis as lieutenant governor, The Associated Press reported.
The Republican-ruled Indiana Senate voted 48-0 to confirm Davis, while the Democrat-led House approved her nomination in a unanimous voice vote.
Davis, a seasoned government manager who was nominated by Democratic Gov. Joe Kernan on Oct. 9, will be the first woman to serve either as Indiana’s governor or lieutenant governor.
Arrested
A Muncie man was arrested by Dunkirk police on a felony charge of driving after being designated a habitual traffic violator for life and misdemeanor driving while intoxicated.
Samuel L. Pinkston, 38, 2027 E. Memorial Drive, was arrested for the class C felony and the class A misdemeanor, after he was pulled over by Dunkirk police. Pinkston’s driver’s license is suspended for life.
He was being held at the Jay County Jail this morning on $15,000 bond.
Boil it
The Dunkirk Water Department issued a boil order at 11 a.m. today while work is being done on reservoirs and tanks in an effort to eliminate rust problems.
Dunkirk residents should boil water before drinking it during the repair work. Officials estimate the boil order could remain in effect through Thursday.
