todayApril 29, 2021

An Ethics complaint has been filed against newly elected Fond du Lac city councilmember Patrick Mullen centering around his involvement  in a lawsuit filed against the city by a citizens group regarding the Lakeside Park alternate master plan.  The complaint alleges Mullen was the beneficiary of funds raised by the Friends of Lakeside Park to help with legal fees in a lawsuit in which Mullen and the Friend’s group were co-petitioners.   The complaint says Mullen should therefore abstain from all votes regarding the park until the Ethics Board completes an investigation.  Mullen was not on the council at the time and told WFDL  news the city attorney has assured him  there is no conflict of interest.
