White Springs council removes two members after breaking town charter

Christian Peterson reporter.riverbendnews@gmail.com On Friday, Feb. 28, the White Springs Town Council met for an emergency meeting regarding a special election. The meeting began with Anita Rivers reading a memo from Town Attorney Leslie Scott Jean-Bart. The memo went over the way that the town was supposed to elect council members, with three being elected in even years for a two-year term and two being elected in odd years. The memo went on to clarify that, in 2024, only one officer, Rivers, qualified and was elected. However, this left two vacancies on the council. In March of 2024, the town council appointed Randolph Williams and Jodi Watson to fill those seats. As Riverbend News
