A developer filed a defamation lawsuit against Gail Peak Brown, who is running for presiding commissioner in Webster County. The lawsuit centers on comments Brown allegedly made about the electrical and cooling systems of a new data center project near Rifle Range Road outside Marshfield. The developer, Trent Overhue, claims Brown made misleading statements, such as omitting context regarding generator noise during facility testing, which he argues caused financial losses for his company.
