Errors in news-gathering and typing on election night resulted in
erroneous data about Suffolk voter turnout that was used for a
front-page story Thursday. Please see a related story on today's
MetroNews front for details and corrections.
Headline information was also incorrect. According to registrar's
offices, official citywide turnout was 31.9 percent in Suffolk, not
61 percent; the 47 percent figure for Portsmouth was correct.
The phone number to call to participate in a walk on the North
Landing River Preserve marsh trail with the South Hampton Roads
Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society Saturday is 421-3929.
An incorrect number was in Wednesday's Virginia Beach Beacon.
A photo caption with the ``Bully Pulpit'' story in Tuesday's
Daily Break incorrectly identified James H. Davis, youth prevention
services director at the Barry Robinson Child & Family Guidance
Center in Norfolk.
CLARIFICATION
A headline on Tuesday's front page said that U.S. Senate
candidate James P. Miller III ``kept 98 percent of money intended
for state candidates.'' As the story reported, an aide to Sen. John
W. Warner has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission
charging that Miller used money from his Commonwealth PAC to help
his Senate campaign. However, there is no allegation that Miller
personally kept any of the funds.
The PAC was intended to support Virginia Republican candidates in
a variety of ways, including advice and making direct contributions
to their campaigns.
