They are not the well-known and much-criticized oil majors but smaller outfits like Monte Carlo's Essex Oil and Rotterdam's Nedol, Vanol, Petrosun and Northeast Allied.

Essex County newspapers reported that a BBC official advised all three County Commissioners that BBC was opposed to the hiring of PCM to manage the county's public works construction. In fact, the newspapers reported, a letter to that effect was written and prepared to be sent to the commissioners. However, for some reason the letters were never sent. About one month later, the BBC instead sent a letter saying there was no conflict...
