Bay St. Louis mayor personally pays back city employee raises not approved by Council

Bay St. Louis mayor pays back city debt

An overt admission from Bay St. Louis Mayor Les Fillingame came Monday afternoon. The two-term mayor admitted to recently paying back money the state auditor’s office said had to be paid back to the city.

Fillingame said he wrote a personal check for more than $780 to cover a pay raise he recently granted to members of the city fire department before getting approval from the city council.
