Voters in Labette County have recalled County Commissioner Brian Kinzie.

There were 831 YES votes to recall and 580 NO votes to not recall Kinzie. Tuesday’s vote may have implications on the future of wind energy in the County as the petition to hold the recall election was based on alleged meetings Kinzie had in regard to negotiating with RWE to put windmills in Labette County.
