Carey Mayor and Law Director resigning after threats for not reciting prayer and pledge.
By JIM MAURER

CAREY — Both Carey Mayor Armand Getz and Law Director Emily Beckley, who said they have received threats after the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord’s Prayer were not recited at the last council meeting, announced Monday they are resigning, effective April 1.
During Monday’s meeting before a packed council chambers, Carey Council voted unanimously to have resolutions prepared to allow the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence, rather than a formal prayer, at the beginning of council meetings.
