AUGUSTA (WJBF) – Augusta Mayor Hardie Davis is facing new allegations of ethics violations.
The amended complaint, dated February 1st, states that Davis filed an Affidavit of Exemption — meaning he would not run an active campaign in January 2020.
According to state law — that means candidates cannot collect more than $2500 in contributions or spend more than $2500 dollars campaigning.
The complaint states that since that time — Davis has collected more than $10,000 in campaign contributions and spent more than $6,000 on campaign expenditures.
It also states that Davis spent more than $3,000 dollars on various items — including credit card bills, subscriptions and Starbucks, which he did not disclose.
So far, Davis has not responded to that complaint.
