Kyle candidate ruled ineligible to run for office

A candidate vying for the Kyle City Council Place 2 seat was ruled ineligible after city officials discovered he did not properly register to vote at a new address prior to the deadline.

But the issue opened a separate can of worms when it was discovered the candidate had been paying 30 years worth of city taxes on part of a property that sits beyond Kyle’s borders.

On Monday, Robert Rizo, a construction worker who lives at 606 Old Stagecoach Road, was ruled ineligible to run for office.
