STURGIS, S.D. (AP) _ The mayor of Sturgis says the city did
nothing wrong in the run-up to last month's special election on an
annexation measure.
Maury LaRue says a city newsletter containing facts about the
proposed annexation of 1,800 acres east of town was meant to
educate voters.
State investigators are trying to determine whether the city
tried to influence voters.
LaRue says the investigation stems from a citizen complaint
about the newsletter and a town hall meeting held before a petition
referendum to bring the annexation to a vote was filed.
Voters defeated the annexation measure in a Feb. 2 election.
