BAY MINETTE, Ala. — More than 50 percent of Baldwin County’s eligible voters headed to the polls Tuesday, echoing statewide sentiment in the gubernatorial race, thrashing a controversial storm water local amendment and giving the nod to an incumbent Baldwin County Commissioner.

In incomplete and unofficial results, voters chose Republican Robert Bentley over Democratic challenger Ron Sparks for the governors seat by a 44,004-12,571 margin, or 76 percent.

Voters trounced an amendment by an 87 percent margin which would enable formation of a panel to oversee storm water management and assess fees for property owners based on a percentage of impervious land.

An amendment which would have established Stockton as a landmark district and prevent annexation was defeated by a 24,748-23,682 margin.

The third local amendment, involving solid waste management, was rejected by a 32,641-17,883 tally.

Incumbent Baldwin County Commission Charles “Skip” Gruber handily defeated Independent candidate Albert Mullek for the District 4 commission seat.
