Williston Mayor Breugger Wins Bribery Case
Judge C F Templeton ruled that John Breugger did not commit bribery when he said he would not accept a $50 salary if an ordinance granting such pay passed. Wegley’s contest failed as the promise was to forgo pay only if the law allowed it and not actionable bribery. Breugger assumed office in April, carried by over 160 votes, and no appeal is expected.
