A trial by jury will decide whether Pulaski County Circuit Clerk Carolyn Staley should step down over her
office`s handling of voter records.
At a hearing this morning in Pulaski County Circuit Court, Judge
Marion Humphrey set a trial to start April 19th, after a pre-trial
hearing on March 30th.
But that will be after a February 10th sales tax referendum at
Maumelle, which lies in Pulaski County.
Last month, a Pulaski County grand jury recommended Staley`s
removal from office. The grand jury report said Staley "has failed, neglected or incompetently discharged her
duties" in keeping the county`s voter registration lists and running elections.
