Rest easy, reporters and Lafayette County public employees: the County Board there appears to have sidetracked efforts to prosecute journalists for daring to report about the crap in the water - - - - as I had - - and has also set aside any plan to punish public employee who talked to the media about such matters.
The county's back-tracking took place Tuesday night, but not before the Board chairman said the crap that really bothered him was the way clean water issues were raised by Democrats.

The meeting was marked by confusion and sharp words, with Board Chairman Jack Sauer threatening to throw out critical members of the public, complaining about Facebook posts and accusing attendees of being Democrats.
"I’m tired of your crap at these meetings," Sauer told one attendee.
