The Tennessee Comptroller released an investigative report Thursday, detailing ways the mayor of Ardmore used his office for personal gain.

At Thursday's city council meeting, city alderman addressed the mayor for unfair treatment and abuse of power.

The report from the Tennessee comptroller states Mayor Mike Magnusson instructed city employees to do work on private property.

The report said the mayor asked city employees to remove storage racks and tools from his personal barn, and move truckloads of debris from a private property to a city owned lot. All of the acts were done without the approval of the board or alderman.

Magnusson said he has been transparent with the investigators, and said he didn't know he had been doing anything wrong.

The untimely report comes only a few days before the Mayor is up for reelection.

The report was sent to the Governor's office and the District Attorney, no further information is available at this time.
