Listen "BONUS: Public servants at SC fire district served themselves"
Episode Synopsis
At a little-watched fire district in South Carolina's Upstate, public servants served themselves on the taxpayers' dime. In the second installment of The Post and Courier's "Uncovered" series, reporters discovered how top officials were accused of stealing taxpayer money, showering themselves with perks, promoting a commissioner's spouse and retaliating against those who tried to speak up. Reporters Avery Wilks and Joey Cranney explained how they used court, spending and ethics records to uncover a string of previously unreported misconduct at one of Greenville County's smallest public agencies.Listeners will also learn how the county created a blueprint for minimizing corruption in these often unwatched special government districts.
