Marathon County Leader Suspended For Participating In Hmong Rally. (Wisconsin Public Radio, 7/20/2016)
The Marathon County Board of Supervisors voted 30-5 to suspend Brad Karger was suspected 30 days without pay. "I'm not being investigated for incompetence, not being investigated for any illegal conduct, not being investigated for any immoral behavior," Karger said. "What I am being investigated for, and apparently being suspended for, is taking a public position in support of justice for a 16-year-old Marathon County resident that I never met."
