The report alleged that Grogan reduced rezoning fees for five property owners who applied to annex five parcels of land into the city without council approval; reduced the amount that city property owner and State Representative Kevin Tanner paid in water bills; approved payment to nonprofit organizations for golf tournaments in which he participated as player; purchased alcohol and gas with a city issued credit card, though he was not reimbursed for those expenses; bought four bottles of moonshine for door prizes; and authorized payment for meetings without pre approval by council.

Hayes also presented more than 500 pages of documentation that he said back up the claims in his report.

Grogan's attorney, Steve Leibel, questioned Hayes about the way the investigation was conducted, including how Hayes neglected to also investigate members of the city council for similar offenses.

"Do you think it would have been important for you to investigate these folks as well as the mayor to determine whether or not the mayor should be, I'm sorry, not impeached, but removed?" Leibel asked Hayes.
Mayor removed from office

Appeal that sucker and let's see what comes of it.
