Regarding the original 1992 contract between Page County and Tellurian Inc. to construct and operate the county s new Battle Creek landfill:
q To what extent were you involved with the negotiation of this contract, and did you vote to approve it? q Were you aware that the contract was signed before any request for proposal and competitive bidding process had been undertaken by the county, in violation of Virginia ! law? q Were you aware at the time that the total capitalization of the corporate shell to which ; you awarded a $50-million contract was $900, that it had no track record in the work required by the contract, and did not have the required licenses to do the work? q Do you believe that a contract obliging the county to pay for disposing of 250 tons of l garbage per day when the county generates only a fraction of that amount of garbage was in the best interest of the county? Did you understand that the only way to avoid financial disaster would be to import large quantities of out-of-state garbage? q Did you approve of illegally advancing $200,000 in Page County funds to the president of Tellurian for a purpose not related to the Page County landfills, i.e., so that another shell company he was involved in could purchase a trash transfer station in Washington D.C.?
