The Christian County Board failed by one vote, to remove Chairperson Becky Edwards, in a virtual meeting this afternoon.
Following comments by various county board members on both sides of the issue, the roll call showed 12 yes votes to replace her, and 4 against the motion.
County Clerk Mike Gianasi told the board that state statute required 4/5'ths of the board members to vote for the motion, which was 13 votes, so the motion failed by one vote.
More information will be on air and on line at the conclusion of today's meeting, which is also being broadcast live on NEW Country 104.1.
