Ex-Green Bay Mayor Schmitt part of lawsuit filed by conservative radio host

(This story has been updated to add new information.) A lawsuit has disclosed Green Bay mayoral candidate Jim Schmitt’s financial backing of conservative radio talk show “ The Regular Joe Show ” as the Schmitt campaign distances his associations to the Republican Party. Schmitt was one of several initial investors who bought into RWB Productions Inc., a company created in August 2021 by Joe Giganti to earn money for the radio show, which launched in 2018 on WTAQ and highlighted conservative politics. Schmitt has been president of the company since at least December 2022, later firing Giganti in 2023, according to court filings. Giganti's radio show, self-described as a "home for consistent conservatism without apology," continued to run under a separate LLC called Fearsome 5 ever since. In an intentional tort lawsuit filed in June at the Brown County Courthouse, RWB Productions alleged that Giganti breached his fiduciary duty of loyalty to the company by loaning money to himself without company approval, paying third parties “exorbitant amounts of money belong to RWB without RWB receiving due consideration in return” and directing company funds to his personal use. The company's filing did not initially name Schmitt or the other investors by

Election results, a city manager’s exit and a store closing

My role at the Herald Times Reporter has changed a bit, and I now cover local government elections and the crime beat — in addition to writing business and feature stories. That means I’ll have a greater variety of news to share in these twice-monthly newsletters. Election results drew the most readers Y’all probably were aware there was an election a week ago. My two best-read stories were election results stories for Manitowoc County and Sheboygan County. Check them out if you’d like to see how people in those counties voted in national, state and local elections. Two Rivers city manager resigns We also did several stories about Two Rivers City Manager Kyle Kordell. We first reported last month that he was on leave from his administrative role while under investigation, but the City Council didn’t share much information. Then, Kordell was arrested three times on allegations of domestic abuse, leading him to resign from his city job.

MANITOWOC – The Manitowoc County Board recently approved a 2027 county budget and a levy of $35.6 million to support it.

Read more news: Driver arrested after SUV hits Manitowoc County squad car Board discussed some changes to proposed plan The County Board made one change from a budget proposal endorsed by its Finance Committee — giving Manitowoc County employees a 2% raise at the start of 2027, compared with an original plan to give them a 1% increase in January and a 1% increase in June.
