Governor Mark Sanford has named a replacement for embattled Union County supervisor Donnie Betenbaugh.
Sanford tabbed Thomas L. Sinclair as the new supervisor Friday afternoon. Sinclair, a educator and Brigadier General, has served as a teacher, principal and assistant superintendent in the Union County School System. He is also co-owner of a construction company and served in the armed forces for 38 years.
"By all accounts,Tommy Sinclair has the competence and character to lead Union County during this unsettled time," Sanford said in a prepared release. 'Based on conversations with a number of people from Union County, we concluded that Tommy's outstanding management skills and successful track record - as well as his lifetime of service to this state and nation in the armed forces - speak well of his ability to lead in Union County."
Betenbaugh was suspended earlier this month after being indicted on corruption charges.
