Adams County Board votes to replace treasurer elected by voters with candidate she beat in November

[RandySF]

The treasurer of rural Adams County in central Wisconsin says she has no plans to leave office despite the county board’s vote to replace her with the person she defeated in the most recent election.

At a special meeting last week, the Adams County Board voted 14-6 to approve a resolution saying County Treasurer Kara Dolezal’s post with the county had been “vacated” and that her former opponent Kim Meinhardt was being appointed for the remainder of Dolezal’s term.

Before the vote, state Rep. Scott Krug argued the board was following a “fundamentally illegal” process in attempting to remove an elected official. But attorneys for the county said the resolution was legal at the April 29 board meeting.

Dolezal was still performing her duties as county treasurer as of Tuesday afternoon. She said she has been told she can continue to act as treasurer until there is a court order saying that she cannot.
