Southaven Questions More Mayor Expenses
The Southaven Board of Alderman has asked the attorney general’s office whether two stipends received by Mayor Greg Davis are legal.
The Commercial Appeal reports (http://bit.ly/Aj6pCm ) that a $5,000 educational stipend and a $2,700 longevity stipend are added to the mayor’s $145,000 annual salary.
A seven-month investigation by the state auditor’s office revealed that Davis misspent $153,000 on clothing, a family trip, gay sex shop merchandise and other personal items.
With the help of supporters, Davis has repaid $96,000. He still owes $63,000, as the state and FBI investigation into his expenses continues.
Another of the mayor’s stipends has already been cut.
Last month, his $35,000-a-year stipend for overseeing the city’s sewer and water operations, which was also part of his salary, was eliminated.
