MARSHFIELD, WI (WSAU-WDLB) The Marshfield Common Council has a new leader, and thus, a new person filling the duties of the Mayor’s office.
After two consecutive 5-to-5 tie votes by the city’s 10 aldermen last night, a coin flip put District Two representative Nick Poeschel in the role of Common Council President, replacing District Six Alderman Tom Witzel.
And since the Council voted to remove Bob McManus from the Mayor’s office on March 22nd, the Council President has been–and will continue–fulfilling the baseline duties of that office, like signing official city documents and presiding over Council meetings. The future of the Mayor’s office will be up for discussion next Tuesday, April 27th, after the Council last week decided to wait until new Alderman Brian Varsho took his seat in District Four.

The study, released last week, tested vaccinated health care and frontline workers and also confirmed effectiveness jumped to 90% after the second dose of either vaccine.
