Montana: Bridger Canyon Fire Board Chair loses recall by one vote, other four members survive

Bridger Canyon Fire Board Chairman Mike Conn lost his recall race by one vote (195-194), though he can ask for a recount. He will be replaced by Jane Lerner. The other four trustees all survived the vote, Colleen Carnine (189-198), Margaret Foster (165-205), Dennis Guentzel (149- 219) and Dave McKee (169-216).
The recall seems to have begun after the trustees considered a plan to allow alcohol in the community room. The chief and at least 18 firefighters quit.
