From The Washington Post's State of NoVa:
The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors once again made its message clear at a board meeting Wednesday: It wants the ongoing legal matter between freelance journalist Beverly Bradford and the Loudoun County Board of Equalization to come to an end.
After emerging from a closed session, the supervisors unanimously voted to direct the county administrator and outside counsel to settle the court case, which was sparked by a confrontation between Bradford, a freelance reporter for AOL Patch, and Board of Equalization Chairman J. Scott Littner at a tax appeal hearing last summer.
