A Soddy-Daisy commissioner facing illegal dumping fines says the situation is “politically motivated.”

Soddy-Daisy Commissioner Shane Harmon, owner of Harmon Enterprises, is facing fines for dumping septic waste into a sewer, according to reports.

Outside of calling the situation “politically motivated,” Harmon declined to make any other comments.

According to reports, the commissioner said he fired the employee accused of dumping the sewage. Neighbors of Harmon Enterprises, 8353 Dayton Pike, brought the issue of foul smells to the Waste Water Treatment Authority at the beginning of the year, reports said.

Allen Lewis will act as Harmon’s attorney.
