We have new information tonight about Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt's alleged campaign finance violations.
80 pages of documents show several different alleged violations Schmitt made from 2011 to 2015. And it's coming as calls for his resignation continue.
Affidavits supporting subpoenas of Mayor Schmitt's bank records show Schmitt accepted donations over the legal limit, and took money from corporations.
The legal limit for an individual donation: $1,040. According to these documents, Schmitt accepted donations exceeding that.. from 20 people.
"The more that comes out, the more that you see that nothing was accidental," says Green Bay District 9 Alderman Guy Zima, who was one of three alderman calling for a probe into Schmitt's campaign finances.
The affidavit reports Mayor Schmitt also changed the names on 18 donations instead of giving excess money back to donors.
Schmitt has claimed any irregularities weren't intentional.
"He knew exactly what he was doing," says Zima. "He was very intentional."
Prosecutors say Mayor Schmitt plans to plead guilty to three misdemeanor charges. But Zima says he feels the mayor should step down.
"There [are] also more charges that could be forthcoming," says Zima, even if it ends up being just wishful thinking, "because I think there are more things that haven't been talked about yet."
But District 7 Alderman Randy Scannell says Schmitt's fate could eventually fall in the hands of the City Council. It's that reason why he says his colleagues shouldn't be so quick to judge.
"I think alders that have called for him to resign.. if it ever comes to the point where we, as a council, need to make a decision on the mayor's behavior.. I think they should recuse themselves," explains Scannell, "because they have prejudged him."
Schmitt's initial court appearance is October 5th in Outagamie County.
