Libel suits loom over Clackangas county political clash
In Clackangas county Oregon a criminal indictment against Gustave Schnoerr leads attorney Chris Schuebel to file two civil libel actions against Schnoerr and the Enterprise for 310000 each. The suits stem from an Enterprise article attacking Schuebel and recount the forthcoming trials, with dates set for July and likely later in the season. Both Schnebel and Schnoerr are Republican legislative nominees and longtime associates.
