Martin Tennessee

MARTIN, Tenn. — The City of Martin’s Finance Committee — a group of community members and aldermen responsible for overseeing the taxpayer dollars that keep the city running — met Monday for the first time in several months. It was the first meeting since Martin's former mayor and former economic development director were indicted on felony charges stemming from accusations of misappropriating city funds.

The longtime mayor of Martin resigned on Friday afternoon following a state investigation into allegations of misappropriated funds from the northwest Tennessee city that implicated him, his daughter and the city’s head of economic development.

The mayor of Martin, his daughter and the northwest Tennessee city’s economic and community development head were all indicted by a grand jury this week following an investigation by the state comptroller’s office that uncovered the misappropriation of over $450,000 in city funds.
