The plan to oust a Sanilac County Watertown Township board member didn't go as planned during Tuesday's election.

The effort to recall treasurer Sheila Coats failed. She received 293 votes to defeat her opponents Jessica Ulfig who received 162 votes and Rebecca Myers who received 141 votes.

Coats has been embroiled in controversy over her alleged refusal to supply fellow board members financial information and access to the computer she uses.

In other election matters, Keith Henderson and Ernest Krumenaker were both elected to partial terms as township trustees, with their term to end in December of 2028.
