Don Beason's contract with Catawba County is up in the air.
The county manager suspended their contract with Beason last Thursday, pending a review by the board of commissioners of its lobbying activities.
The contract would have been reviewed regardless, said spokesman Dave Hardin.
"It's up for renewal at the end of every year," he said.
The once-top lobbyist has faced questions recently over his relationship with disgraced former House Speaker Jim Black after a $500,000 loan he gave Black surfaced in late July.
His contracts with BB&T, Progress Energy, Cingular Wireless and Carolina Ballet have ended.
