A caucus of the Floyd County Democratic Party selected Greg Balmer yesterday to fill the remainder of his late wife's term as Floyd County coroner. The term runs through 2008.

Becky Davis-Balmer, 53, died at the couple's home on March 18 of an unknown cause.

Greg Balmer, 50, had been the chief deputy coroner and was interim coroner until yesterday.

Balmer received 29 votes in the session at the City-County Building in New Albany, easily outpolling Leslie Knable, who received five votes, and Larry Borden, who got three votes.
