What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Financial problems arose for Florence County following embezzlement by Sullivan, the former town clerk of Pamplico. This led Florence County to provide a loan to Pamplico to help the municipality survive while catching up on financial obligations. The town is working to submit delinquent audits for fiscal years 2023 through 2025 by the end of 2026.
