The Chairman Of The South Fork Utility District’s Five Member Board, Has Resigned. Chairman James Graham Turned In His Resignation Last Month During A State Utility Management Board Hearing. An Investigation Found Over 1.5 Million In Questionable Payments Made To Companies Owned Wholly Or Partly By The District’s Manager, Garry Smith. State Officials Voted To Pursue The Removal Of South Fork Commissioners If They Didn’t Resign Voluntarily And Also Recommended The Agency Merge With Bristol Bluff City Utility District. Instead, The Group Fired Its Attorney And Has Declined To Meet With State Officials.
