MARSHFIELD, WI (WSAU-WDLB) â On a night when Marshfield aldermen were choosing members of a new Ethics Board, they also denied a request from Mayor Bob McManus to investigate the actions of the cityâs Police-and-Fire Commission.
The Common Council voted 8-to-2 last night against the Mayorâs request to authorize City Attorney Harold Wolfgram to look into the protocol and actions of members of the Commission from January 1st of last year to February 5th of this year.
McManus explained to the Council why he was requesting an investigation of the Commission. âThree separate incidents taking place regarding potential open meeting violations regarding email exchanges, information exchanges, between the Commissioner and the Police Chief between the time of 4/21/2020 and 4/24/2020 just before an open records request.â
