Call for turkey probe dropped in Aiken County council vote
Aiken County Council on Tuesday night rejected a push by Councilman Willar Hightower to revive a controversial hams and turkeys issue. The state law enforcement division found no evidence to support the voter influence claim, and the solicitor’s office took no action. The Ethics Commission dismissed related complaints for lack of proof. Council members debated FOIA and public duties as they halted further pursuit.
