           Few, if any, Eau Claire County residents would classify the Eau Claire River as "dirty," but according to Eau Claire County's Kelly Jacobs, it is.  Is this an example of the government making up a problem to solve?  Is this another excuse for the County, State, and Federal Governments to control our properties?
