Lager E Coli

Wayman

SAVANNAH, MO. (2009-10-16) The Northwest Missouri State Senator leading the investigation into the delayed report of E-Coli in lake of the Ozarks alleges there appears to be an organized cover-up going on.

Savannah Senator Brad Lager chairs the senate committee that oversees environmental issues and says there's been a clear effort by Department of Natural Resources staff to mislead senate investigators. Lager says an outside investigation may be necessary. The DNR Director Mark Templeton says the release of the E-Coli report for a month didn't pose a public health risk because bacteria die in lake of the Ozarks in about 4 days.
