CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina county administrator was expected to hold her job through June 23 but instead left in January with a separation agreement paying her $221,649, a newspaper reported.
The Post and Courier reported that an agreement between Charleston County and former Administrator Jennifer Miller indicates the payment was in exchange for her agreeing not to sue the county or its elected officials.
Miller’s reasons for leaving were unclear. County officials interviewed by the newspaper declined comment on specific reasons for the severance package.
The Post and Courier obtained the agreement from the county through a Freedom of Information Act request. The newspaper said repeated attempts to reach Miller on Tuesday and Wednesday were unsuccessful and messages were not returned.
