NEENAH (WITI) — A postal worker in Neenah is under investigation — accused of failing to deliver political mailers. The United States Postal Service says it found nearly 900 pieces of campaign mail in a dumpster last week, and all of the flyers were connected to three Republican campaigns.
Rohrkaste says he paid $5,000 for that message. He says he called the post office immediately.
“They had a supervisor out within a half hour. This supervisor, she took a lot of pictures, actually got into the dumpster. She collected all the documents. It was filled up with boxes. She took them with her,” Rohrkaste said.
“It does appear that obviously this mail was discarded. So far our investigation has not led to anything involved that this was targeted to any specific candidate or specific party,” USPS Special Agent Robert Rukes said.
Special Agent Rukes says no Democratic flyers were found.
Rohrkaste’s opponent in the 55th Assembly race says he may know why.
“I have not sent any mailers. I do have television commercials, airing on cable TV,” Democratic Assembly candidate Mark Westphal said.
