Aiken County seeks attorney general opinion on veterans affairs post
Aiken County Councilwoman LaWana McKenzie pushed for a legal opinion on a possible conflict of interest surrounding the Veterans Affairs officer appointment. The referral involves Ro berta L. Starks, named by a veterans search committee as top candidate, with Starks being married to County Finance Director Richard Starks and funded by the county. County Attorney Robert Bell warned the AG may not issue an opinion, and the delegation previously recommended Starks twice despite protests over nepotism and conflict concerns.
