Ex-alderman fined for secrecy law violation in Medary
Former La Crosse Alderman Harold Swanson was fined 100 for violating antisecrecy law by holding a secret annexation meeting with six Medary residents. Judge Peter Pappas ruled the meeting fell under open meeting requirements and that the committee could act, noting the 1976 resolution empowered it to discuss annexation with firms and residents. Subjects included annexation proposals, Dayton Hudson Shopping Center, and water and sewer service affecting La Crosse and Medary.
