A second employee complaint against Rutherford County Property Assessor Rob Mitchell has been filed, accusing him of ignoring conflict of interest issues involving real estate. According to the Daily News Journal, John Key, a residential appraiser in Mitchell's office, claims that Mitchell allowed another employee to work "as a licensed real estate professional for the past five years," which he considers a conflict of interest. Another appraiser, Robert Kincade, filed a complaint in June, accusing management of "directing staff to unlawfully withhold updates on improvements to properties." Mitchell responded to the first complaint, saying, "Any and all of the recent ethics complaints filed against our office are categorically false and untrue."
