CANTON, Minn; — Canton’s mayor resigned amid changes that he was excessive with corporal punishment on an 8-year-old boy in his custody for a weekend in October. The case against Joshua Darin Nordsving is pending in Fillmore County court. Said Nordsving: “I do not want current issues from my personal life to reflect badly on the City of Canton.” The City Council appointed Kristy Ziegler to succeed Nordsving as mayor. She holds an at-large seat on the Council.
