Audit Finds Issue With Watauga Water Authority Executive Director Salary
A recent state audit by the Tennessee Comptroller’s office found several problems with the Watauga River Regional Water Authority.
From July 1, 2006, through March 31, 2007, auditors found the water authority’s executive director’s salary was at least $11,000 more than it was supposed to be.
The audit found in 2007, that director took in $65,975, the approved salary was $54,600
The water authority says its director’s current salary is $61,800. Because of the mistake, the director has agreed to repay the more than $4,000 that person is currently being overpaid.
The authority, which helps bring water to some areas of Carter County, is funded by customer surcharges.

SONEONE NEEDS TO CHECK ON THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THE POLICE DEPT IN JOHNSON CITY WASTE THEY WAST TAX PAYER MONEY ON UNDERCOVER OFFICERS TO CHATCH PEOPLE TALKING TO PROSTITS OR DRVING THROUGH THE ALLEY TO CHARGE THE HOMLESS WITH BEING VAGERENTS KNOWING THESE PEOPLE DONT HAVE INCOMES TO PAY FINES WHEN THEY ARE SIGHTED TO COURT AND CAUSING OUR COURTS TO BACK LOG .
THE POLICE NEEDS LOOK INTO SOME OF THE MURDERS , DRUG DEALING AND CHILD MOLESTERS
Not to sound too cynical, but might it not be a good idea to have a public audit of all communities’ executives like this to check on such?
