Roane County businessman William Edward “Eddie” Lee, who recently pleaded guilty to more than $280,000 in sales tax evasion, should step down from Rockwood Water, Sewer and Natural Gas Board,
Rockwood Mayor James Watts described Lee, the owner of a few convenience stores and tobacco shops, as a fine fellow.
Watts said he did not know how Lee’s plea would affect his seat on the board.
All we know is Lee was keeping hundreds of thousands of dollars that should have gone to the government for himself.
