Republican State Rep. Scott Krug threatens to sue blogger for libel

As reported by Jessica VanEgeren of the CapTimes, Republican State Rep. Scott Krug is threatening to sue blogger Michael Leon of MAL Contends after Krug’s feelings were hurt by by a piece Leon wrote regarding efforts by Rep. Krug to support a proposed confined animal feeding operation, or CAFO, that will have at least 1,000 animal units on a property, as well as what is perceived as a “too cozy” relationship between Krug and the Dairy Business Association (DBA), a lobbying group that many citizens believe is actively working to take away the rights of communities to regulate pollution of their waterways.

Here’s the portion of Leon’s blog post that Rep. Krug had his feelings hurt about.

In the Wood and northern Adams counties where the beaches are now closed, State Rep. Scott Krug (R-Wisconsin Rapids and ALEC) still plays his cynical, corrupt game providing political cover for the polluters and assisting Scott Walker, Walker’s DNR and the Dairy Business Association in their project in which one objective is to contaminate and literally toxify Wisconsin lakes and other waters—which means your families’ health is the cost of doing business.
