COUNTY — Pickens County Council members recently discussed what benefits the county would receive if it joined the American Flood Coalition, with one council member saying the invitation did not “pass the smell check.”

Councilman Chris Lollis said he’d spent “probably more time than I should have researching this.”

“I’m not sure what the benefit would be for Pickens County to join this coalition,” he said.
