Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry has been accused of harassment by City Treasurer Jacque Nation.  Nation and Barry are both seeking reelection in the April Midterms. According to the minutes from the March 1st City Council meeting, it says that Nation asked for an update on the harassment complaint from Human Resources. Mayor Barry apologized to the treasurer and stated that he shouldn’t have made the comment.

Mayor Barry apologized for making the comments but says that Nation was eavesdropping on a private conversation and feels that this is politically motivated.

Regional Radio News reached out to Treasurer Jacque Nation but was unable to reach her at her office. A formal response is expected at a later date from Human Resources to Nation.
