Ford Cleared Of Using County Employees For Campaign Allegation
( Memphis 7/22/2010) Shelby County Attorney Brian Kuhn has released a report his office put together regarding allegations against interim Shelby County Mayor Joe Ford.

In the report, Kuhn states an anonymous letter was sent to his last month office alleging Ford was using county paid workers for his campaign.

It also alleged Ford was using tickets to events, paid for by the county, for his personal use.

Kuhn told Ford about the allegations and conducted an investigation.

Kuhn said he concluded while some county employees may be working on Ford's election campaign, they are doing so on their own accord and off the clock.
