EX-EMPLOYEE CLEARED IN COMPUTER PROBE.(Local/Wisconsin)

An investigation into alleged misuse of the Internet by the city's former superintendent of public works has been closed.

Don Schlueter, who resigned his position on March 29, was cleared of any wrongdoing, based on evidence submitted to the state Crime Laboratory, said Mayor Michael Eisenga. ``They went through the hard drive of the computer and they found nothing,'' said Eisenga.

Eisenga said the investigation began when evidence of misuse of the Internet was found in Schlueter's office.

``Supposedly there was somebody cleaning out a recycling bin and they found something incriminating,'' said Eisenga.
