MARSHFIELD, WI (WSAU-WDLB) â Marshfield will be without a mayor for a year after alders voted to not hold a special election to fill the post on Tuesday.
The Common Council voted 10-0 last night in favor of leaving the office vacant until the cityâs next regular general election on April 5th of next year. That leaves Council President Nick Poeschel as the cityâs acting mayor, which involves signing official documents and presiding over Council meetings.
The Councilâs decision comes 36 days after an 8-2 vote on March 22nd to remove Bob McManus from the Mayorâs position over misconduct allegations, and some 340 days before the next municipal election.
