A Madison-based freelance writer has gotten too opinionated for the likes of Rep. Scott Krug and the Nekoosa Republican is threatening to sue for libel.

According to a series of email exchanges between Krug and Michael Leon, Krug finds several sentences in Leon’s Sunday MAL Contends’ blog post libelous.

The post dealt with the growing concern among members of Adams, Juneau, Portage and Wood counties about water quality and a proposed confined animal feeding operation, or CAFO, meaning it will have at least 1,000 animal units on the property.

A majority of the post quoted an email Rome resident, Don Ystad, had sent to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, other citizens and politicians.

The portion Krug takes issue with, though, is what Leon added.

In an email exchange to Leon Monday, Krug asks if the writer plans to retract two specific statements where he includes Krug in a list of “cynical, corrupt politicians” who are providing political cover for polluters.
