| Description | Milwaukee Mayor Hit With 5 Civil Counts
The Rocky Mountain News
Prosecutors on Monday alleged campaign finance violations by the acting mayor, eight days before voters will decide between him and another candidate for mayor. Acting Mayor Marvin Pratt denounced the investigation as politically motivated. Pratt was accused of four civil counts of filing a false campaign finance report and one civil count of failing to deposit personal campaign contributions in a campaign account. He faces a fine of up to $2,500.
Pratt became acting mayor in January when Mayor John Norquist left office four months early in the wake of a sexual harassment scandal and an admission that he had an extramarital affair. Pratt has been an alderman since 1987 and, as president of the city council, was elevated to acting mayor upon Norquist's departure. Pratt will square off with former Rep. Tom Barrett, a fellow Democrat, in the April 6 nonpartisan election. |
