    Council Votes No Confidence in Mayor | Columbia News

    Chapin Town Council just delivered a unanimous no-confidence vote against Mayor Bill Mitchell, accusing him of controlling information, blocking staff access, withholding financial data, and engaging in personal attacks and aggressive behavior. The town has seen four attorneys since his election, and his early swearing-in was marred by assault accusations — later dropped. While the vote doesn’t force his exit, it’s a powerful signal for him to step down, especially with past lawsuits from former employees alleging a hostile workplace.

    Woman Sentenced for Threatening Congresswoman | Columbia News

    A 28-year-old woman, Shayla Addison, just received a 27-month federal prison sentence for threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace — sending explicit, violent messages via email, phone, and Instagram. This isn’t her first brush with intimidation: past convictions include threatening to blow up a restaurant and pouring gasoline on her mother’s apartment. The FBI and Capitol Police investigated, while Mace stressed that political violence has no place — and that she receives over 1,300 credible threats annually. This case shines a harsh light on the escalating danger faced by public officials and the consequences when threats cross the line.
