SCOTTSBORO, AL (WAFF) - "A lawsuit against Scottsboro's mayor reveals new information on the use of city funds for a private investigator. The lawsuit by a city employee claims the mayor used the money for personal reasons. The mayor is denying the allegations stated in the suit, but city employee Chad Green claims he's the victim of a vendetta that began after another city employee declined to have an affair with the mayor." http://www.waff.com/story/30814843/scottsboro-mayor-accused-of-hiring-private-investigator-for-personal-reasons

The mayor says: "As Mayor of the City of Scottsboro, I generally refrain from commenting on personnel-related matters. However, the scandalously false allegations made against me yesterday in a suit brought by city employee Chad Green, require a response. Mr. Green’s claims for damages are premised on alleged facts that are demonstrably false. Each claim of his complaint is totally without merit, and has been clearly made for the explicit purpose of damaging my reputation and embarrassing me politically. I will vigorously defend myself against these false allegations and I am confident that they will be dismissed in a court of law"

OPINION - Based on my observations and interviews, the Scottsboro Mayor's biggest problem is himself. He has facilitated a hostile work environment and sexual discrimination in the work place. Personally, I do not believe a word this alleged political "leader" says about this situation and legal action. Thank goodness election time is right around the corner, hopefully the citizens will be done with his nonsense sooner than later.
