Show Notes
Alabamas Attorney General Steve Marshall is investigating the Wedowee Utilities Board following an audit revealing potential mismanagement issues. This comes after concerns of near-bankruptcy due to alleged mismanagement. Marshalls office has previously handled similar cases, leading to convictions. The Wedowee Town Council replaced two board members, including the former chairman and Mayor Tim Coe, and implemented new rules to prevent conflicts of interest. The new chairman highlighted issues like unpaid taxes, payroll errors, large employee bonuses, and significant operating losses. The former bookkeeper, recently fired, claims she was just following orders. The investigation is ongoing, with no charges filed and all parties presumed innocent.
