DANVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The mayor of a central Kentucky city faces 10 ethics charges and a hearing before the city’s ethcis board at the end of the month.

The Danville Board of Ethics will hold a hearing July 28 for Mayor Hugh Coomer. Coomer faces a variety of charges, including threatening the city manager’s position in a meeting and submitted an intentional misrepresentation of the approved beautification committee plan for the use of $20,000 in TEA-21 grant money available through the Transportation Equity Act.

The board brought the charges at a meeting Wednesday night. Coomer has denied any wrongdoing and said he trusts the city’s ethics board to make the right decision.
