The rift between some members of the Morgan Town Board and the residents who organized a recall election was on full display during the board’s regular June 13 meeting.

Candidates have until 5 p.m. June 28 to submit nomination papers to run against Town Chairman Fran Wranosky or Supervisor Leonard Wahl, who are being recalled. The election is scheduled for July 12; if more than two candidates emerge for either post, the July 12 vote will be considered a primary, and a general election will be held Aug. 9.

On June 14, the Oconto Falls City Council forwarded a proposal to build a 12-unit, high-end apartment complex to the city Planning Commission.

Developers Walter Gondeck Jr. and Wade Micoley are seeking a zoning variance and conditional use permit for the project, which would be built on an empty area on North Chestnut Avenue between Jackson and Van Buren streets, across the street from the Oconto Falls Municipal Building.
