GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- Green Bay Alderman Guy Zima said he does not plan on changing despite a lengthy complaint of misconduct filed against him by Alderwoman Barbara Dorff.
“In truth, I would not change 99 percent of the things that I said. If they think they are going to turn me into a politically correct wimp, they have another think coming.”
The complaint filed by Dorff, highlights six sections of the cities Code of Conduct that Zima is accused of violating. He says, he has problems with the code to begin with.
“Their codes are just artifical anyway. I don’t even think this Code of Ethics is worth the paper it is written on. It is just politically correct junk.”
Zima said the claims of verbal and physical attacks towards council members and city officials seems like a witch hunt.
“I have always told it like I thought it was, and I am not going to mince my words just because Miss Dorff or somebody else was offended.”
Zima stated he believes that the efforts were started by the City Attorneys officer and the Mayor.
Dorff said her motivation of filing the complaint is to stop Zima from behaving the way that he is.
“My motivation for filing this complaint is to stop Alderman Zima to stop the inappropriate behaviors that he is engaging.”
In her statement, she stated that it is now out of her hands.
“I will put this in the hands of the ethics board, and trust in the process.”
The complaint focuses on decorum, maintaining order, attacking staff, and conduct in meetings.
“The Guy Zima that people have known is the same Guy Zima today, and none of this phony pressure is going to make me change my ways.”
Zima says the complaints are exaggerated, and he stands behind almost everything he is accused of saying or doing.
Dorff citied over 30 examples of violations.
