Former medical center chief wins with 55 percent of ballots cast DETROIT (AP) - A former medical center chief defeated a county sheriff to become the next mayor of financially trou- bled Detroit, though the job holds little power while the city is being run by a state-appoint- ed emergency manager. Unofficial returns showed Mike Duggan defeating Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napo- leon 55 percent to 45 percent. Napoleon conceded defeat late Tuesday in a race where he was outspent by Duggan by about 3-to-1 heading into Tuesday's election. Both candidates had said during the campaign that the state-appointed emergency manager should leave the city and allow the new mayor to fix Detroit's finances when he takes office in January. "I'm going to try to shorten Kevyn Orr's stay," Duggan told The Associated Press heading into the election. But the reality is that Dug- gan will have little power under emergency manager Kevyn Orr, who in Julyfiled to take Detroit into bankruptcy. Duggan, an ex-county pros- ecutor and former chief of the Detroit Medical Center, said he wants to convince Orr's boss, Gov. Rick Snyder, to allow him to develop a team and a plan to resuscitate the city's fiscal condition if elected mayor. Both Duggan and Napoleon campaigned on fixing Detroit's deteriorating neighborhoods and reducing the high crime rate in a city that struggles to respond to 911 calls on time. Detroit has more than 30,000 vacant houses and build- ings. Bing's administration has demolished about 10,000 empty and dangerous houses during his four-year term. But anything the new mayor wants done that requires money must first get Orr's approval. Snyder did not endorse a candidate, but after testimony last week in bankruptcy court, he held firm in his decision to appoint Orr and keep him in place until Detroit emerg- es from bankruptcy and its finances are fixed. "Detroit's fiscal crisis was six decades in the making," Snyder said in a statement. "My job is to make the tough decisions to resolve the problems we face today, not ignore them." Detroit's mayor cannot remove Orr. Under state law, that only can be done by the governor or an act of the state legislature. However, once Orr's 18-month contract ends a supermajority vote by the city council and mayor can choose not to renew it. Current Mayor Dave Bing did not seek re-election. He has always been opposed to Detroit having an emergency manager and has been frus- trated by the relationship he has with Orr, saying that Orr hasn't communicated well with the mayor's office. Duggan becomes Detroit's first white mayor since the early 1970s. The city is more than 80 percent black.Experts say the data will improve understanding about how planets form, what conditions might make life possible and where else in the universe it might exist.

Gubernatorial election lacks voter enthusiasm, turnout TYSONS CORNER, Va. (AP) - Terry McAuliffe wrested the governor's office from Repub- licans on Tuesday, capping an acrimonious campaign that was driven by a crush of nega- tive advertising, non-stop accu- sations of dodgy dealings and a tea party-backed nominee who tested the limits of swing-vot- ing Virginia. McAuliffe received* 47 per- cent to Cuccinelli's 46 percent, with 97 precincts reporting. McAuliffe, a Democrat, ran strong among unmarried women, voters who made abor- tion a top issue and those who called the suburbs of Wash- ington, D.C., home, accord- ing to preliminary results of an exit poll conducted for The Associated Press and the tele- vision networks. Cuccinelli, meanwhile, fared well among tea party backers, gun own- ers and among the state's rural residents - but there were not enough of them to yield a vic- tory. In winning, McAuliffe broke a stubborn streak in state his- tory. During the past nine gov- ernor's races, the party that controlled the White House at the time has always lost. That's not to say voters rushed to back McAuliffe's vision for Virginia. Turnout for was low, and both candidates worked through Election Day to reach as many potential vot- ers as possible. Only 52 percent of voters said they strongly backed their candidate, the rest had reser- vations or backed a candidate because they disliked the other options, according to exit polls. Neither major candidate's ideo- logical views seemed "right" for a majority of Virginians, So percent called Cuccinelli too conservative, 41 percent said McAuliffe is too liberal. The exit poll included inter- views with 2,376 voters from 40 polling places around the state. The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points. Voters' dissatisfaction couldn't overshadow the fight on television. McAuliffe enjoyed a 10-to-1 advertising advantage over Cuccinelli dur- ing the final days. "We were very heavily out- spent but I'm proud we ran on first principles," Cuccinelli told supporters in conceding. "The battle goes on." The campaign's tilt turned many voters off. "I really hated the nega- tive campaigning," said Ellen Tolton, a 52-year-old grant writer. "I didn't want to votefor any of them." Richard Powell, a 60-year- old retired IT manager who lives in Norfolk, described him- self as an independent who fre- quently votes for members of both parties. He said he casthis ballot for McAuliffe, although not because he's particularly enthusiastic about him. He said he was more determined not to vote for Cuccinelli, who he said overreaches on a variety of medical issues. Voters were barraged with a series of commercials that tied Cuccinelli to restricting abor- tions, and while Powell said the negative advertising "got to be sickening," abortion rights played a factor in his vote. "I'm not in favor of abortion - let's put it that way - but I find that restricting abortion causes far more social harm than allowing abortion, so that was an issue for me," he said. 0 I
