Is it true that the Mountain Water District is plauged with money problems and is being audited by the Commonwealth of Kentucky? Magistrate Chris Harris is the target of a so-called unauthorized campaign group that is the first formed in Kentucky since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled corporations can support or oppose candidates.
The group Citizens for Eastern Kentucky Government has received $2,500 from The Law Office of Ray Jones & Bill Hickman and $15,000 from Utility Management Group, which operates Pike County’s Mountain Water District. The group is targeting Chris Harris, who has been highly critical of how the company is running the Mountain Water District.
