Edge Calls for Removal of Mayor Pierce
This is overdue. What the hell took so long?
State Rep. Tracy Edge, R-North Myrtle Beach, released a letter Friday calling on Gov. Mark Sanford to remove Atlantic Beach Mayor Retha Pierce from office.
The letter comes after Pierce was charged with a misdemeanor DUI after being stopped by police Wednesday on U.S. 501 in Marion County. She was released Thursday.
“When she took office, it was a great opportunity for Atlantic Beach, and it was the time they were going to turn the corner,” Edge said. “The problems have continued, largely with the troubles that she’s had. Would the town of Atlantic Beach be better off with a different mayor?… I think the answer is yes, without a doubt.”
A turning point? Pierce? Let’s not over indulge in pleasantries here. That woman was having issues right up to the election. The warning signs were there. Those imbeciles in Atlantic Beach traded one corrupt mayor for this psycho they’ve got in there now. I can’t believe there isn’t something in the town charter allowing for her removal.

Gosh, you guys scared me to death. I thought you were speaking of Atlantic Beach NC, which has an excellent town government and is just down the road from me, in Emerald Isle. Please, since you cover two states, be sure to mention WHICH Atlantic Beach you are discussing, so there will be no confusing.
I’m very fond of the current council there. They’ve saved their taxpayers a wad of money, and Vada Palma and crew are among my favorite people.
Thanks,
Katy
