APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A Grand Chute supervisor was acquitted on charges he improperly bid for a town contract.
A jury returned the not guilty verdict against Ronald Wolff on Friday, according to court records updated Monday.
He was charged with having a private interest in a contract while having a public duty to review that contract.
Wolff owned Lakeshore Cleaners. Although he said he sold his interest in the company, that wasn’t effective until July 2022. Wolff was elected on April 6, 2021, as a Grand Chute Town Board Supervisor. Wolff was sworn into office on April 13, 2021, and Wolff’s term began on April 20, 2021. Lakeshore Cleaners submitted a bid for a contract for a pond prairie seeding contract in June 2021 at the Champions Center.
Wolff abstained from the June 1 vote approving the contract, the complaint states, but prosecutors alleged he had a duty not to even bid.
