Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that this man is a fraud and a thief.. If he hasn't done anything wrong, then why did the Southaven Police Chief, Tom Long, escort him in and out of the press conference today? Is this the Chief's new job responsibility, baby sitting Greg Davis? One would think that the Chief would have more pressing duties, like chasing bad buys. Well, maybe that's what he IS doing! The party is not over yet, the fat lady hasn't sung and she may not sing for a long time. Refresh my memory, when is the next election?

Right, Jeff...no Democrat has ever fell from grace misusing someone else's money. That's all they do! These politicians have no pride. It's all about them. They all believe they make the sun come up. This guy just needs to go. Southaven will be just fine w/o him.

This doesn't have anything to do with sexual orientation. He mis-used taxpayers money and he knew he was doing it! If he hadn't been questioned, this would still be going on and he would be laughing behind all of our backs. He should not be allowed to remain in office. He may have done some great things for Southaven, but he has also taken advantage and used taxpayer money for personal use knowing full well that it was not appropriate!

Actually, I think him being gay is a huge disgrace. A huge disgrace to the gay community. A gay republican. . . it doesn't really get more conflicted than that. Also, I don't think you get much milage out of the "gay" card in Mississippi.

He fits in right where he is at. In a city of science denying, right wing, religious freak Republicans who claim to be fiscally responsible and morally superior, however, they are anything but. The same party who believes the wealthy and corporations need more government hand outs while the working class, elderly, and poor pay for it. Yes this mayor is right at home among his kind.

Mississippi Code 25-4-109.

(3) The commission may order restitution or other equitable or legal remedies to recover public funds or property unlawfully taken, as well as unjust enrichment, although not public funds.

No elected or appointed official shall derive any pecuniary benefit, directly or indirectly, as a result of his duties under Chapter 497, Laws of 2009. Any elected or appointed official, any member of the immediate family or any partner or associate of the elected or appointed official, shall not derive any income from the issuance of any bonds or the disposition of any property under Chapter 497, Laws of 2009, contrary to the provisions of Section 109, Mississippi Constitution of 1890, or this article. TITLE 25. PUBLIC OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES; PUBLIC RECORDS CHAPTER 4. ETHICS IN GOVERNMENT ARTICLE 3. CONFLICT OF INTEREST; IMPROPER USE OF OFFICE Miss. Code Ann. ยง 25-4-121 (2011) Maybe the citizens of Southaven can get a petition going to have him recalled, since the Board of Aldermen apparently can't do it themselves. Petitions can be started online thru change.org, signon.org, or moveon.org.
