The longtime mayor of Pikeville, Tenn., is accused of misusing more than $170,000 in taxpayer funds. Greg Johnson, who is in his third term, is free on $10,000 bond after being arrested Wednesday on charges of official misconduct and felony theft in the wake of a monthslong investigation by the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury Office. Officials at Pikeville City Hall said Johnson had not come into the office on Thursday. City Hall staff also said he has not submitted any correspondence regarding his plans as mayor. Johnson, 50, was first elected to the Pikeville Board of Aldermen at age 19. www.timesfreepress.com/news/2012/jul/27/pikeville-mayor-arrested-tennessee-greg-johnson/

Our watch group has filed many, very strong complaints to the Tennessee Comptrollers office with brief and supporting documents, which they completely ignore, and do not respond to.
There is a trend with TN Comptroller, they like to flex their authority with very small cities, and ignore the larger cities.
