MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. First it was bent windshield wipers. Then a sex toy stuck to the windshield. But the harrassment of an Orange County councilwoman hit a new low when she found a horse's head in her swimming pool. >snip<

>She told the Middletown Times Herald-Record that the earlier incidents happened at the town hall, where she's the lone Democrat on the five-member board.<

>State police removed the head from the pool and took it to a local veterinarian. They're still investigating who might be behind the grisly prank.

Soro's been in the middle of tussles over growth and planning that are the hot-button issues in the town. But she says she won't be scared out of office. She's up for re-election next year, and she's running.
