BINGHAMTON — Binghamton Mayor Richard David has appointed Clarence (Chuck) Shager, Jr. as the city comptroller.

Shager replaces Charlie Pearsall, who will serve as the business manager at the Binghamton-Johnson City joint sewage-treatment plant, the mayor’s office said in a statement released on Wednesday.

Shager has served as Tioga County’s chief accountant and budget officer since 2011, preparing annual budgets in conjunction with department heads and county legislators.
