Conflicts and open questions

  • The Covington News article on the bond had no visible date, and it gives the bond approval only as Feb. 23 with no year. Verify the year.
  • A local development director would neither confirm nor deny that Baymare is Meta. The deal mirrors Facebook's 2018 Morning Hornet structure.
  • No MW figures were found.
