Maybe someone will finally do something about his corrupt reign and his thumbing of his jose Ayla anyone who asks..this should have been done by a majority of commissioners with a fiscal audit!!
Thumbing of his nose at
where is the mayor. this week? Been absent out of town?
All the more reason for a forensic audit of every single department in Augusta, as well as WHY Davis should never hold any office or lobbying position in the future. He should be held accountable for every taxpayer dollar misappropriated. Are you listening Commissioners?
I can not agree more! Mary Harris!!
That would be gratifying.
Ha, ha. The truth never hurts – until it does. Lies, obfuscations, misleading statements, malfeasance, misfeasance, and more should be tracked and exposed. Where are the commissioners in these issues?
Hope we don’t think Honest Hardie was in line for a kick back if vote favored Regency Mall dirt. Speaking of dirt……
Why else would anyone want to be mayor other than the taxpayers’ cookie jar with no lock on the lid?
Catherine Smith McKnight … please toss on the city table a call for a full audit.
Forensic audit by a neuttal auditor … to include every entity that received public funding … All SPLOST accounts separately examined … all general bond accounts to be separately examined .. water utility to be examined as to application and account of collected storm water and sewer fees, application of funds into and out of all sinking fund accounts and renewal and extension accounts
Strongly agree
Just how far back does the corruption go? How many commissioners should be investigated, how many city employees should be jailed along with commissioners? Please investigate and bring charges against all these and former corrupt employees, commissioners, and mayors plural. Silas and Davis for sure.
Stay on ‘em Scott Hudson, you do a great job!
Go get’tem!!
Who paid for the promotional material in support of the failed GO bond issue for a new arena? None of the signs contained their source, as required by law. And what of the big banner on the JBA, which was later removed? Lots of dark money here.
Light, keep shining the glorious light on all of the darkness that comes from the mayor and the commission! Why is it that we seem to be able to keep a full office of investigators busy in Augusta?
What a wonderful Christmas present!
I knew it…I asked Hardie face to face if the Sizemore Group did it and he just said, “maybe.” John Clarke was there and heard it. (before he was a commish.) I knew the prints were at Augusta Blueprint too…Steven Kendrick’s dad’s company…yeah, let’s send this scheister to ATL to lobby…
Commissioner Clarke and myself have called for a full forensic audit twice for all of the city finances and we have been voted down twice. However, we do plan on bringing the matter up again.
Thank you Catherine. Public pressure often takes time to build up and have the desired effect. In this case it should be approached to CLEAR the names of all commissioners and employees – not to incriminate them, unless they should be incriminated. Keep calling for that audit. The money will be well spent and help to restore trust in the commissioners and public officials.

PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR READERS
DETAILS CONCERNING THE EXPENDITURES MADE ( OR TO BE MADE ) FROM THE
FORTY FIVE THOUSAND ( $45,000.00 ) DOLLARS WHICH THE COMMISSIONERS TRANSFERRED TO THE COLISEUM AUTHORITY AFTER THE PROPOSED THREE ( 3 ) MILL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE WAS DEFEATED BY THE VOTERS .
WILL IT FUND ADVERTISING SUPPORTING A NEW GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND PROPOSAL
( Property Tax Increase ) WHICH WILL APPEAR ON A BALLOT AFTER THE MAY 2022 COMMISSION ELECTIONS .
we have asked for this info already but having a hard time tracking down who keeps the records. for some reason it is outside of the city finance department scope.
Thank you for all you do to show the truth!
Please start with asking for an audit of the Mayors Office only. Your fellow colleagues are afraid of people finding out about their dirty deeds with a full audit.
big thanks Catherine McKnight and comm clarke
Forensic audit of the books for My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) and Hardie’s MBK slush fund may be enough to make him a cellmate for Sammie Sias. Still waiting for GBI and Attorney General Chris Carr to wake up and investigate The King before all the evident is destroyed.
Don’t forget about the individuals that bought the property in front on the old mall site. And the former politician that owned several homes on the Dean’s Bridge area also. Both of these individuals are close to Hardy Davis. Please do a property search. You will be overwhelmed. One of them is still on the James Brown Colosseum Board. The other is a former commissioner and state politatiin
