Paris' Records in Shambles; City Recorder Investigated

By Chris Taylor

Paris, TN – A former Paris, Tennessee City Recorder is being investigated for various instances of malfeasance and misappropriation of municipal funds. Interim City Manager Carl Holder yesterday announced the investigation into Lisa Rowlett's role in leaving city records in shambles. The Paris Post-Intelligencer reports Rowlett was dismissed from her duties in mid-January. Holder says city records are in such bad shape that the current and last year's figures will need a complete overhaul and will mean the city will be flying somewhat blind when it soon begins to craft its next fiscal budget.
