VALE – The questions piled one on top of another as officials sought explanations for the troubles plaguing the Treasure Valley Reload Center.

In a meeting Saturday, May 7, they focused their attention on Anderson Perry & Associates, the La Grande engineering firm managing construction of the Nyssa project.
But the directors posed no questions to the person paid at public expense for nearly five years to oversee the project . . .
