Public Works director indicted

An east Georgia Public Works director faces a federal indictment for allegedly violating the Clean Water Act. The Augusta Chronicle reports a Savannah Grand Jury indicted Harlem Public Works director Daniel Webster Cason on 11 counts. The FBI and Environmental Protection Agency say in 2004 Cason's department pumped a pollutant into the Euchee Creek and then falsified records. The Mayor of Harlem calls Cason a good employee who didn't mean for the incident to happen.
