23 bank accounts some recently active and nobody knows nothing? In the big scheme of things this is not a lot of money but is a good example of how money, particularly public money, attracts those easily tempted to dip onto the well so to speak.
Of course these small municipalities find it hard to pay for qualified employees to manage the books and so it becomes a shoot by the hip and try to keep up. The council votes on playground equipment and the mayor goes and finds the stuff, lines up delivery and pays for it with his own card. The town cuts a check back to the mayor but the receipt for the playground stuff is thrown away and now it looks like the mayor took money for nothing.
In addition in this small a village today you get factions and turf wars. These factions all fight among themselves and never accomplish anything. Year after year they squabble about the mill properties and never do anything good for the people. It’s stagnation by idiot. And now after what, a couple of decades, is SLED going to do with this? Not much.
Statute of limitations has run out on most of this I suspect and besides it would be nearly impossible to prosecute anyway given the plausible deniability of it all.
Glenn is the leader of the corruption now. Along with Kim and the other 4 corrupt council members. The only thing true about this is the corruption did start long ago. So make sure the ones with badges, judges and the ones with money are punished too!

People need to be held accountable for their actions and mismanagement of the towns money. There should be no statute of limitations on imbeselment.

SLED’s hands are tied on Charleston city government? If so, why?
