Final returns on Tuesday for Erie’s municipal election, billed in recent months as a referendum on the town’s renewed post-Firestone approach to oil and gas regulation, confirmed a wide-margin victory for mayoral candidate Jennifer Carroll. Her election, coupled with a slate of candidates with similar proclivities for local control over energy development, portends the town’s continued path for more aggressive restrictions on drilling. Carroll, who has characterized herself as “the champion for more local control” and represents the core support for the town’s oil and gas overhaul in recent months, had 4,726 total votes as of the final wave of unofficial results at about 11 p.m. Related Articles Denver DA drops grand jury investigation into Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams A criminal allegation.
