August 24th, 2016 by iPhone
“In recent days, expenditures from the Monticello Advertising and Promotion Commission and the Monticello City budget have been the subject of several news articles.”
“All funds mentioned in the recent news articles were spent on purposes for which they were intended and/or appropriated. No funds have been stolen, embezzled, or spent for the personal benefit of any individual. These matters are currently being investigated by the proper State agencies.”
“While these matters are under investigation, I will continue to fulfill my duties as the Mayor. The business of the City of Monticello will continue and move forward. I would request that the Council and the citizens of Monticello remain patient until such time as the investigation is completed.”
“In the meantime, on the advice of my legal counsel, I have been instructed to not comment on these matters further while the investigation is pending. I know that the members of the Council, Press, and Public have many questions. Even though I will not be able to comment on specific transactions, I feel confident that all questions will be resolved once the investigation is complete.”
