What is the company's debt situation and liquidity position?

As of September 30, 2000, Republic Services had approximately $1.16 billion in long-term debt.

Yes, the company is involved in a significant securities litigation lawsuit filed by shareholders related to statements made about the company's growth and asset acquisitions. While management believes the allegations are without merit and will vigorously defend the action, an unfavorable resolution could materially impact the company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
