Frederick Co. councilman apologizes for newspaper threat

WASHINGTON – A Frederick County Council member who told the local paper it couldn’t print his name has apologized.

In a statement released by the county, Councilman Kirby Delauter says that it was inappropriate to tell the Frederick News-Post not to print his name.

“My statement to the Frederick News-Post regarding the use of my name was wrong and inappropriate. I’m not afraid to admit when I’m wrong,” Delauter says in the statement.

He said he feels frustrated when he is misrepresented or misinterpreted by the local paper and that he regrets writing the Facebook post.
