Can you hold office while in jail?
That would be the question most readers ask when following the ”Village Candidate Could Take Office in Jail” link on Madison.com’s home page. The problem, however, is that the article doesn’t answer that seemingly obvious question. To no surprise, the article, which is uncredited, is written by WKOW.
Also not indicated are potential jail terms, the terms of his reelection, and when exactly his sentence might start in relation to when voting happens.
Perhaps I’m missing something reading the article. Perhaps there’s something there that everyone else sees and I don’t. Perhaps WKOW should stick to TV reporting and leave articles like this to the State Journal and Capital Times. Am I wrong?
