Statement from former Buncombe County Board of Commissioners chairman David Gantt:
I am not the “former Commissioner” mentioned in the Bill of Indictment which charges Wanda Greene and her son, Michael Greene of criminal activity. I never received or used any County-issued WalMart/Sam’s Club, or credit cards during my time on the Buncombe County Commission. I have cooperated fully and will continue to fully cooperate with the FBI and the Office of the US Attorney in their investigation of this matter. As part of that cooperation, I have testified before the Grand Jury and am available if further testimony is requested and/or needed.
