SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (AP, abc24.com) - Receipts show Southaven Mayor Greg Davis often left generous tips when he was charging meals and drinks to the city.

The Mississippi auditor has demanded Davis repay more than $170,000 for personal expenses billed to taxpayers. The Commercial Appeal used a Freedom of Information request to obtain Davis' receipts that the auditor gave Southaven officials.

The newspaper reports that he left a $100 tip for a $38 dinner last June at Mesquite Chop House in Southaven. A month later, he bought a $37 round of beers at the restaurant and tipped $100.

After a dinner for legislators and attorneys at Mint Restaurant in Ridgeland, Davis left a $1,000 tip on a $2,509 bill. That dinner included two bottles of Opus One wine for $415 each.

When is this going to end? He is a self-indulgent thief. Bottom line, he spent the Southaven taxpayers money fraudalently. Just how long does it take for the Board of Alderman to act? They enabled him to have free reign with his city issued credit card. They are just as guilty. I can't wait for election time to see ALL of them standing in the unemployment line! He and his enablers just need to go away!

He was probably giving his waiters and bartenders more than just the "tip". . . wink wink, nudge nudge.
