Judge Deliberates Stay In 19th Ward Alderman Case
Judge Neprud weighs arguments from L E Sheehan and Alex Cameron that a stay should keep Warren Smith in office until the Wisconsin Supreme Court rules on Kaufmann's challenge to the April 7 election for Ward 19. Kaufmann’s counsel argues he may be seated until the appeal is decided, while the attorneys dispute notarization rules for absentee ballots and whether incumbent holds office until a successor is elected. The decision could hinge on whether the court grants a further stay and when the Supreme Court might act.
