Village Arsenal Debate Plays Out in Sheboygan
In Sheboygan Wisconsin District Attorney David Weber stood by his stance not to file charges against Kohler village Police Chief Waldemar Capelle over possessing machineguns. Labor leaders contend the law excludes villages and requires annual re registration, while state officials note poor compliance since 1933. Weber met with state officials and said no clear village exclusion exists. Union leaders threaten further steps if action is not taken as negotiations continue after meetings in Washington.
