Winfield Township Supervisor Phyllis Larson, Clerk Colleen Stebbins and Trustee John Black were all ousted in recall votes. Larson lost to Ryan VanSolkema (543-487), Black lost to Julia Potratz (525-503) and Stebbins lost to Ken Bloom (526-506)
The recall was over complaints about ordinances dealing with wind and solar energy. The three were in favor of wind and solar power projects.At the same vote, an ordinance over wind was shot down, 355-736.
There are debates over the publication of public notices in a weekly paper and whether publishing only in a weekly shopper that doesn't have online publication counts.
There was also a recall effort against Treasurer Cathy Killinger and Trustee Steve Cole, though it is not clear what happened with those.
An earlier solar ordinance lost a referendum vote.
