If these council members are successful in changing city ordinances vs. putting a referendum to the citizens, the legislative role currently held by the council would shift to an administrative role, meaning department heads would ultimately report to 7 elected officials.

Imagine chaos! See CHAOS below....

According to SC law.....(THE ONLY DISQUALIFICATION) a person convicted of a felony or an offense

against election laws is not qualified to file for or hold office, unless it has been fifteen

years since the completion of the sentence for the crime or unless the person has been pardoned.

NO DEGREE, NO YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, NO FIELD OF EXPERTISE, BUT 6 WARD ELECTED PEOPLE TELLING EMPLOYEES WHAT, WHERE AND WHEN TO DO THEIR JOB? = CATASTROPHY!!!

THIS COUNCIL HAS HAD 4 EXECUTIVE SESSIONS, ONE every Month. IN 2025, 3 IN A YEAR!!! FIND OUT IF SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING ON IN THE CITY. Lots of closed door talking....

STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO.

In this link from her blog, you can watch WARD 3 grill the attorney on legal matters. Before posting, I watched...and wondered, why weren't some of these policy questions satisfied prior to the meeting.

Don't forget there was a HACK last year. Yes, Pickens County was hacked and Easley services were impacted for weeks. In response to that CRASH, EASLEY council made the most obvious decision to have total control over their data and operations.
