CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Charleston City Council members discussed their code of conduct Tuesday night amid a controversy surrounding one of their members.
An attorney for the city of Charleston offered to draft up a code of conduct for council members to look at in the new year, after Councilwoman Carol Jackson brought up the need for it.
She said right now council members and board members do not have a series of professional guidelines or standards to hold themselves accountable.
