Mayor of Batesburg – Leesville faces ethics complaint

Batesburg-Leesville, SC (WOLO)– The Mayor of Batesburg-Leesville is facing an ethics complaint after authorities at the State Ethics Commission say he pushed to close the town water plant and buy water from Lexington County’s Joint Water and Sewer Commission.
