The South Fork Utility District In Bristol, Tennessee Could Be Merging With A Neighboring Utility District. This Comes Following An Investigative Report From The Tennessee Comptroller Of The Treasury, Which Found Over One Million Dollars Worth Of Conflicts Of Interest Regarding Businesses Owned By Or Affiliated With Utility Manager Garry Smith. There Are Now Calls For Smith And The District’S Five-Person Board To Resign. The Recommendation From The Review Board Is To Voluntarily Merge With The Bristol-Bluff City Utility District. County Attorney General Barry Staubus Has Not Yet Decided On Whether This Is A Civil Or Criminal Matter.
