April 12, 2022 – Hartford, WI – Following the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the Tuesday night Hartford Common Council meeting, mayor Timothy Michalak, who asked that the mayor’s report be pushed to the top of the agenda, read a statement.
“I’ve been strongly admonished by my attorney not to make a statement or discuss this matter, but I apologize to the good people of Washington County for what happened, and I deeply regret my actions that gave rise to it. On behalf of my family, I thank you.”
Later tonight the Hartford Common Council will vote to repeal the police powers of the mayor. City Administrator Steve Volkert said this is being done because it is a dated ordinance and not because of the criminal investigation being conducted on newly reelected mayor Timothy Michalak.
