Missouri: Robertson Fire District Board recall up for vote , candidates running to replace self

Robertson Fire Protection District Board members Joan Noel, Becky Reinsmith, Mike Conley are facing a recall vote on Election Day (though there were efforts to kill the effort in court, which a judge rejected).

The board is blamed for putting Hazelwood near bankruptcy due to a "costly contract." Supporters of the board members claim that Hazelwood is trying to get out of the contract with the recalls. The issues listed include failure to lower costs, retaliation, failing to turn over public records and selling property for below market value.

The board members are running in the replacement, which we've seen in Massachusetts, but is apparently a shock to reporters in Missouri.
