While in the courthouse for another matter last week, I checked in on the case involving the Mosinee Fire District, the former Mosinee Fire Chief and myself (unofficially — only the district and the former chief are named).
Unless I am reading things wrong, The Wausonian won.
According to online court records, Marathon County Judge Michael Moran denied former Mosinee Fire Chief Adam Grahn’s request for an injunction blocking release of the records.
The Wausonian requested those records after receiving Grahn’s separation agreement that appeared to end an ongoing investigation into his conduct. He resigned effective Sept. 30, 2025.
Grahn’s argument, according to the petition filed in court, is that the allegations against him were false, unsubstantiated and unproven, and that allowing them to be made public would cause him reputational harm.
According to the court record, Grahn and the Mosinee Fire District made their arguments on Tuesday, and in the end Moran denied the petition.
The Mosinee Fire District’s attorney attempted to contact me but for some reason wasn’t able to reach me by email. I was included in a group email by a mutual professional acquaintance, and I replied to both, and haven’t heard anything yet.
According to the record, the district’s attorney would prepare a proposed order for the court. When I searched the record last week, nothing had been filed in the court records. The case is still listed as open.
Kronenwetter could heat up again this week
I have a few interesting items I am looking at with Kronenwetter, but couldn’t get the reporting to a place where I am comfortable yet. Expect more on that later in the week.
But in the meantime, a meeting Monday night in Kronenwetter could get interesting.
The village plans to hold a question-and-answer session about a proposed nonmetallic mine in Kronenwetter.
Oddly, there doesn’t seem to be any notice of this Q&A session outside of a possible quorum notice for village board, committee and commission members. The Q&A session is planned for 5:30 pm Monday, and the Plan Commission meets at 6 pm that evening. So it should be short.
I haven’t found a separate announcement on the village’s Facebook page or in its posted meeting materials.
The reason for that isn’t clear. The village has been without a permanent clerk — although the village’s new clerk is supposed to start today.
