GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Green Bay’s city council meeting Tuesday night started and ended with heated exchanges between Mayor Jim Schmitt and Alderman Guy Zima.
It started when Zima opened the meeting by taking a shot at the Mayor.
“I think you seriously need to consider resigning, stepping down”
….and then flashed a copy of Tuesday’s Green Bay Press-Gazette with the headline “Intent To Deceive”.
“I don’t think anybody in the city wants a Mayor to negotiate any business when he has a title like that under his name”
Schmitt says Zima has been after him for years. It certainly didn’t catch him off guard.
“He’s always found something to challenge me on, so I’m not surprised by that”
As for the legal issues, the Mayor says Guy Zima Needs to get over what happened in court on Monday and move on.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen. The city needs to move and so do I….and I have”
Last night’s meeting came one day after Schmitt was sentenced for three misdemeanor campaign finance violations. Schmitt was sentenced to $4,000 in fines and 40 hours of community service.
And, he says he’s not going to resign.
