Inquiry concerning outside income and possible conflicts of interest
St. Joseph County Democratic Party chairman Steve Wruble asked Mayor James Mueller to investigate council members Shelia Niezgodski and Canneth Lee over alleged violations involving non-city-related income. The request emphasized that even a perceived conflict could damage public confidence. Mueller said their private employment was known before election and had previously been reviewed by city attorneys. The available material does not report a finding of wrongdoing.
