Prompted by a new reader’s tip, Checks & Balances Project (C&BP) has filed a public information request with the Sussex County, Virginia, board of supervisors seeking the county’s recusal policy. It also has asked for the records of any supervisors who have declared a conflict of interest in the last 25 years.

C&BP has asked Chairman Steve White for a comment and is awaiting the chairman’s response.

Ray Locker is the executive director for Checks & Balances Project, an investigative watchdog blog holding government officials, lobbyists, and corporate management accountable to the public. Funding for C&BP is provided by Renew American Prosperity and individual donors.
