AT&T North Carolina will not reveal any information about its lobbying.
When contacted by Dome this afternoon, a spokesman for the phone company would not discuss any details of Don Beason's contract with it.
"We just don't discuss the details of what is in the contract," said public affairs director Clifton Metcalf Jr.
As previously noted, Catawba County paid Beason $32,903 in the first half of this year — 11 times the $2,940 that AT&T listed.
But that may be because the corporate contract used a loophole in state law to avoid listing his full salary.
Under at least two other contracts with IBM and Progress Energy, Beason was paid for consulting as well as lobbying, though only the lobbying salaries were reported.
