(KLZA)-- Rulo Village Board Chairperson Quincey L. Smith will remain as a member of the Board.

37 Rulo residents voted against recalling Smith with 16 voting for the recall in Tuesday’s special election. 

Kevin Barber was the principal circulator of the petition to recall Smith.  The petition alleged Smith had violated the Open Meetings Act, operated village equipment without proper training and had broken bid contracts.  

Smith responded to the recall effort and requested a full audit of all Village of Rulo records for the past five years, alleging a conflict of interest by Barber.
