MARSHFIELD, WI (WSAU-WDLB) —Â City leaders in Marshfield have voted to move forward with proceedings that could end with the removal of Mayor Bob McManus from office.
WDLB Radio in Marshfield reports that the investigation stems from an open-records request relating to text messages that were allegedly sent by McManus from a city-issued cell phone.
According to McManus, an investigation into the matter was opened by the Portage County Sheriff’s office last fall. The results were turned over to the Wood County District Attorney before the end of 2020, and the matter was closed without any formal charges.
