State ethics panel eyes former Surfside administrator Booth
The solicitor’s office has turned over information to the State Ethics Commission about whether former Surfside Beach administrator Ed Booth violated state ethics law. Herb Hayden, the executive director of the State Ethics Commission, said the office is “reviewing what [the solicitor's office] sent us to see whether or not there are any potential violations.” There have been accusations that Booth passed inside information to a company that was bidding for restaurant space on the town-owned pier. Booth began working with television personality Cecil Chandler’s restaurant company – called Surfside Beach Cafe at the Pier LLC – shortly after he left the administrator’s job in May.
