Knox County (WVLT) - The Knox County Commission is formally censuring County Mayor Mike Ragsdale after an audit review of questionable purchasing card spending.

According to the News Sentinel, the board voted 13 to 4 on Monday, demanding repayment of nearly $40,000 of unaccounted for charges by Mayor Ragsdale and his aides.

The decision was made after a hearing focused on two audits. One on P-Cards and the other on car allowances.

Mayor Ragsdale and his officials have the chance to present documentation for the P-Card charges by this Friday to avoid a possible lawsuit.

The commission also voted to stop further investigation into the auto allowances.

Amounts to nothing more than all commissioners lining up and sticking their tongue out at the mayor and the rest of his corrupt staff. Van de' weasel attempting to have an in depth audit of all county workers because the sampling wasn't fair due to the auditors finding only 2 errors within 217 samples taken. Ms. Defreese was right, the mayor should resign now.
Let your voice be heard!
