• South Congaree council votes to remove mayor from presiding over meetings (wltx.com) — South Congaree residents just saw a major shakeup: town council voted 4-1 to strip Mayor Cindy Campbell of her role presiding over council meetings after a closed-door executive session. Campbell questions why the move wasn’t discussed publicly and stresses the town’s council form of government, while council members say the change is meant to keep operations professional and within South Carolina law.
