26
Apr
Town Council candidate John Prutch, former Town Manager, is determined to have his election contest heard in court. Monday his attorney prepared a Notice of Appeal to continue the effort to have a judge decide the fairness of the Quartzsite Primary Election, just held. The Town claims it had also held a “Special” Election with the Primary, for the seat vacated last year by J. Lizzaraga. Prutch seeks to be placed on the ballot for the General Election to be held May 15. The Town Council has already seated Mike Jewitt in the seat in question. A judge must decide if the Town acted improperly.A hearing date will be announced.
The Town and its Town Council are charged in the suit, as well as Mike Jewitt and Clerk Terry Frausto. Count 1 includes accusations of misrepresentation and fraud by the Town and Clerk Frausto.

Town Goes To Court – Monday Morning
15
Apr
A court action has been brought to contest the election of council members. Last week’s court hearing in Phoenix resulted in a change in venue. That is, the hearing is reset for 8:30 am Monday April 16 in the Superior Court in Parker at 1316 Kofa Avenue. This is another chance to join your neighbors to observe the proceedings from the public seats. Your tax dollars are paying for most of the cost of this contest. The action brought by candidate for Town Council John Prutch will likely be decided quickly to preserve the integrity of the election. At issue is having Mr. Prutch placed onthe ballot for the May 15 general election in a timely manner. Grave concerns exist as to the handling of the entire election process by the Town of Quartzsite leadership.
The suit is brought against: The Town and the Town Council, as well as Terry Frausto, and Mike Jewitt.
