Council candidates highlight issues facing city at forum

Council candidates highlight issues facing city at forum Exchange Club moderator Jerry Fortenberry leads a question-and-answer session with the five city council candidates who turned out for Thursday’s candidate forum ­ Ward 4 challenger Marty Turner, Ward 4 incumbent Pierre Beard, Ward 3 candidate Rusty Greene, Ward 1 candidate Kallie Phillips and Ward 3 candidate Kori Bridges. Slim Smith/Dispatch Staff Put charitably, Thursday’s Columbus Exchange Club meeting/candidate forum was an example of brevity being the soul of wit.

Former CFO of Mississippi city sentenced for embezzlement February 22, 2021 GMT COLUMBUS, Miss. (AP) The former chief financial officer of a Mississippi city has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to embezzlement the maximum sentence for that crime. The Commercial Dispatch reported that Milton Rawle, 49, entered the guilty plea Monday in Lowndes County Circuit Court. Rawle worked for the city of Columbus from 2013 to 2019. Investigators said he moved $288,893 from city accounts to his personal accounts between December 2016 and December 2018. The maximum sentence for embezzlement of more than $25,000 is 20 years in prison.

Because embezzlement is a nonviolent offense, Rawle will be eligible for parole consideration after five years.
