Jody Barr-'Unreal Deal': State ethics investigators looking into SC mayor's first vote on first day in office

You can't throw a peach in McBee without hitting someone who knows the name Glenn Odom. Odom was once a town magistrate, the mayor, then a sitting councilman, and was sworn into office as mayor again in February.

Within 24 hours, the mayor and council voted to shutter the town's water department and hand that service over to the Alligator Rural Water and Sewer Company – a water company with financial ties to Odom and another McBee town councilman.

Four months later, Alligator Water ended up owning a parcel of town property that a governmental ethics lawyer tells us wasn't legally transferred.
