Easley Express: Your Info Hub

Change the form of Government...Since 1976 or before, Easley has had a Mayor/Council Form.

See the Mayor's facebook page for details. Here are some highlights.

"Over the past several weeks, our City Council has been discussing a potential change to Easley’s Form of Government. Specifically, some members are advocating for moving from our current 'Mayor–Council' system to a 'Council' form of government.

Under this proposal, the legislative role currently held by the council would shift into 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) person convicted of a felony or an offense against the 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 7 PEOPLE TELLING EMPLOYEES WHAT, WHERE AND WHEN TO DO THEIR JOB? = CATASTROPHY!!!

THIS COUNCIL HAS HAD 3 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.

Wow! watch the exchange between the mayor and ward 3. You decide. It sounds as if the Mayor reports to her. Wonder if this is where all this stuff is coming from? see for yourself.

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.
