MASON, Tenn. — The Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury made a rare stop in Mason, Tennessee this week, urging town leaders to give up Mason’s charter or be taken over by the state.

Tennessee State Comptroller Jason Mumpower said it was meant to be a wake up call for the Tipton County town of a little over 1,200.

“The town of Mason has had mismanagement and financial trouble for many years now,” said John Dunn, Director of Communications with the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office. “I think it was certainly somewhat unique to see the comptroller in their town, but it also sent a message this was a very serious situation”
