Mayor's p-card audit settled?

Submitted by R. Neal on Wed, 2008/05/28 - 4:39pm.

Mayor Ragsdale's office has released a statement saying that the Knox County Commission’s Internal Auditor "accepted supporting documentation provided by the Mayor’s Office regarding the procurement card audit."

According to the statement, "Mayor Ragsdale and staff submitted documentation in support of their transactions, all of which was accepted by the Auditor, except for gas purchases for the Mayor’s county vehicle." There was also one undocumented purchase of office supplies. The Mayor's office says some of these transactions are four or five years old so no receipts are available.

The Mayor will reimburse the county $1,217.59 by the close of business today to reconcile these transactions.

When's the "Hospitality Account" audit coming out?

An off the books slush fund that will show a quid pro quo between contributors to the fund and receipt of county no bid professional services contracts. Connect the dots, look who'se putting money in and who is getting contracts for county work on the back side.

Why hasn't Werner paid the county back for his use of the county P-card at Gap, Apple, and J. Crew? Or was it his wife's use of the card at these stellar vendors of Knox County?

Who knows?
