flag Former Green Bay alderman Chris Wery sued the city over hidden microphones in City Hall, claiming they violated privacy laws and were used to monitor opponents.

flag Former Green Bay alderman Chris Wery sued the city and Mayor Eric Genrich on March 2, 2026, over audio recording devices installed in City Hall between late 2021 and early 2022. flag Wery claims the hidden microphones violated Wisconsin’s one-party consent law and the Fourth Amendment by capturing private conversations in hallways without consent, including discussions with constituents, lawyers, and reporters. flag He alleges the recordings were used to monitor political opponents and were accessible in real time to city police and staff. flag The lawsuit references a prior 2024 settlement over similar surveillance, which led to a ban on audio devices. flag The city maintains the system was lawful and a safety measure, but has declined to comment due to pending litigation.
