Menasha Mayor James Adams claims in remarks prepared for a 1:30 p.m. press conference at Holiday Inn that state Rep William Steiger is tied to a fly by night Arizona land development scheme.

Steiger, a Republican, denounces the charges as a smear and cites Adams’ press releases alleging involvement in a dubious land operation and HUD scrutiny.
