Corrupt Kentucky mayor took cash, gas on the side. Appeals court says no new trial.

[TexasTowelie]

A federal appeals panel has upheld the conviction of former Paintsville Mayor Robert Porter on three charges of misappropriating money and public resources.

Porter is serving a four-year sentence.

Eulas Crace, who owned a towing company, wrote checks totaling more than $18,000 to benefit Porter. Porter would steer city business to Crace’s company, according to court records.

Porter also was charged with not paying for more than $7,000 worth of city utility service to houses he owned in town, and with using taxpayer money for personal expenses such as gas and repairs for his personal vehicles.
