Wisconsin Attorney General Reports August 27, 1985 (Opinion No. Oag 36-85, (1985))

MATTHEW F. ANICH, District Attorney Ashland County You request my opinion whether section 59.365 (1), Stats., which provides in part that "[w]ithin 10 days after entering upon the *Page 199 duties of the office, the coroner may appoint one or more proper persons, residents of the county, deputy coroner," precludes the coroner from appointing a deputy after such ten-day period has elapsed.
