State Board of Elections rules on complaint against Welvaert

The State Board of Elections ruled Friday that no further action will be taken on the complaint filed against Moline mayoral candidate Don Welvaert.
The complaint, filed Thursday by Moline resident Richard Brunk, alleged Mr. Welvaert did not disclose some in-kind contributions.

The State Board of Elections ruled the complaint was justified, but because Mr. Welvaert filed the campaign disclosure information, no further action would be taken, said Ruppert Borgsmiller, director of the division of campaign disclosure for the State Board of Elections.
