Wisconsin: Vernon Supervisor Ousted in a recall

Vernon Town Supervisor Ed Moline was kicked out in a recall vote, finishing fourth with 49 votes. Former Town Chairman Fred Michalek won the race with almost 83% of the vote, 797-70-50-49.

The recall was over Moline's support for a boundary agreement between Vernon and Mukwonago. The petition specifically cited his approval of three newsletters that "favorably discussed" the agreement. Residents overwhelmingly opposed the agreement in a nonbinding referendum, 816-90. Town Chairman Carl Fortner also served as a recall petitioner.
