While the fish drop seemed like a one in a million chance, Jefferson said she heard a few anecdotes from other City Hall workers who’d seen similar accidents. Despite the healthy eagle population, Jefferson said City Hall doesn’t plan on moving vehicles to a garage.
“I walked into work and now I have this irrational fear that I’m going to get hit by a fish, but maybe it’s not irrational,” she said. “It is kind of funny because as it went around City Hall, people were saying that happened at High Cliff last summer, or this just happened to my friend.

NEENAH - The hostages who were caught in a 2015 standoff and shooting between a gunman and Neenah police at Eagle Nation Cycles plan to file a federal lawsuit against the city, claiming officers treated them as criminals rather than victims.
