Fisher wins primary

CNHI

Cherokee County’s incumbent sheriff bested his democratic challengers Tuesday in the 2012 primary election.

Sheriff Norman Fisher, who is attempting to capture an unprecedented third term in office, captured nearly 56 percent of the vote against democratic challengers Charley Batt, Clint Johnson, Randy Osburn and Johnny Parris.

Fisher captured 2,128 votes, compared to Batt’s 813 (21.23 percent), Johnson’s 626 (16.34 percent), Parris’ 222 (5.8 percent), and Osburn’s 41 (1.07 percent), according to unofficial results.

Poll

Where do you think bicycle trails are most needed in Cherokee County?

In the downtown corridor.
Not downtown, because it would be too congested, but on peripheral streets, like Bluff, Downing and College, and Muskogee but not downtown.
On the rural highways mainly in recreational areas, like Highways 10 and 82.
Only in special areas, like parks.
I do not think Cherokee County needs any (or more) bike trails.
