A message from Mayor Dan M. Gibson:
It is important that I share something with the citizens of Natchez who look to me for transparency as their Mayor:
On Friday evening, November 12, I was made aware of a discrepancy discovered late Friday in the financial accounting system of the City of Natchez. Sometime late Friday afternoon a questionable transfer of city funds into external accounts had taken place. On Saturday morning, at 9 a.m., I reported this matter to the MS State Auditor’s Office, who agreed that the city should take immediate steps to address the situation.
Subsequently, I asked the Natchez Police Department to immediately begin an internal investigation. That investigation has now been completed and turned over to the MS State Auditor. Now that it is under the Auditor’s control, the City of Natchez can make no further comment.
Thank you. Our prayers for Natchez.
Dan M. Gibson
Mayor of Natchez
