It seems like Mayor Bergson did not care about the city when he was on his way to Chicago. The Mayor like anyother officail is always representing our City and with his DWI on city business to Chicago the mayor gets a DWI and slams into a guard rail.
From what I understand he was going to Chicago for city business. If that is the case there could be many issues that involve the city and lawsuites as well. I wonder now if this is grounds for a recall vote? Anyone know.

Mayor asks forgiveness for 'bad judgment'BY JOHN MYERSNEWS TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
Duluth Mayor Herb Bergson was involved in a one-car accident Friday evening near Spooner, Wis., in which he suffered minor injuries and was later cited for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Bergson was southbound on U.S. Highway 53, on his way to a conference in Chicago, when his vehicle struck a guard rail along the highway.
The incident was reported at 6:35 p.m. just north of Washburn County Highway H, said Karen Snearly, police communications operator for the Wisconsin State Patrol.
According to the preliminary report filed by Trooper Tony DeSteffano, the accident remains under investigation.
Bergson told the News Tribune via-e-mail this afternoon that he was alone in his 2002 Mercury at the time and had hoped to make it as far as Eau Claire for the night.
The State Patrol did not confirm today that Bergson had been charged, but Bergson, 49, admitted to the citation in a message to the media.
