Grothman helped sponsor the legislation for the renaming.

FDL DA Office Working To Go Paperless

Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney says his office is working on going to a paperless system. He says it’s something going on all over the state. He says it took his office a lot longer because vendors had difficulty with it. He says once it’s implemented it should speed things up and make things more efficient. He says it’s close to up and running which will allow them to charge cases quicker. He says the hope is cases are charged quicker, move through the courts quicker, and then they can work on improving some inefficiencies in the court.
