Virginia Officials Plan Appeal Over Bond Settlement
Special to The Washington Post Richmond Va administrators Parker and Green say they will appeal Judge R Carter Scott city circuit court decision in the state versus federal account settlement. The lawyers argue Parker and Green acted as state agents for adjusting claims that reached over 1700000 and that the state owes the estates about 170000 for services. The funds were loaned to the federal government during the War of 1812 and counterclaims were filed by the government. Senators Daniel and Martin had previously shown interest and Virginia received a small settlement of the claims.
