Amid town council turmoil, how much do Chapin employees make?

More Chapin town employee drama erupted last week as the town council voted to remove Mayor Bill Mitchell’s pick for town clerk. It’s the latest clash between Mitchell and the four other members of the town council over the town’s hiring and firing decisions. Mitchell has argued his position as mayor allows him to fill town positions, but the rest of the council has become increasingly forceful in having their own say in who represents Chapin. Council members already overruled the mayor’s choice to be the town’s attorney , an issue made more contentious the question of who would be responsible for representing the town in a $20 million lawsuit Chapin faces from Lexington County. But Mitchell maintains the power to make other hiring and firing decisions under the town’s “strong mayor” form of government. Council previously gave him permission to name the town’s police chief and the directors of finance, public works, and planning and zoning. The State asked the town for numbers on what all of its employees currently make. You can see the database below. Police Chief Thomas Griffin is the highest paid Chapin employee at $106,076.65. He’s followed by Finance Director Michelle McMurray at $85,000, and

Alan Wilson led SC Republicans through a brutal primary stretch. Building his government is next.

COLUMBIA — Heading into election night, attorney general and now governor-elect Alan Wilson struck a wager with another statewide official. The still-unidentified gambler said the governor’s race would be called for Wilson by 8 p.m. If it wasn’t, Wilson would win a free lunch. Wilson wasn’t so sure. Despite having the better-funded campaign and a larger operation than Democratic rival Jermaine Johnson, the Democrats had the wind in their sails with the war in Iran, a creeping affordability crisis and an unpopular Republican president dragging his party’s prospects down. Wilson entered the even...
