A Message from the Mayor...    
Virginia "Ginie" J. Turbeville

    On May 15, 2009 the Town of Turbeville took another step toward making government accountable and transparent. The Town's financial information can now be found  on the "Town Council" page of this website.  Interested individuals can click on the "Town Council" page and the financial information can be found in the left hand column.

    Online transparency makes information immediately available, to any individual wanting it, with the click of a mouse.

    This is a win-win situation when we can provide our citizens information about what their government is doing.  We originally began seeking to inform our residents by sending out a news letter.  Then we started this website which offered folks basic information.  Now, with the aid of this website, we have set the accountability bar much higher by providing detailed financial information and our monthly check registers for all who are interested.

    The financial information offered on the website includes a copy of our annual audit report, the annual budget, monthly check registers and monthly financial reports.  We remember the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln in November, 1863 while dedicating the Cemetery at Gettysburg he encourages us to dedicate the living to the struggle to ensure that "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

    Thank you for looking through our website.  We hope you will come and visit us.  We are a small town and close knit community that cares about her fellow residents.  Turbeville is truly "a great place to live, work, play and grow."

    Ya'll Come ~ we sincerely hope you will stop by for a personal visit when you are in our area.
                       
Virigina "Ginie" Turbeville, Mayor

A Statement from 
S.C. Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom:

    “The Town of Turbeville should be commended. They are truly pioneers, helping usher in a new era of government transparency.

 "By voluntarily putting their financial information online, Turbeville leaders are demonstrating that they understand it’s not their money their spending -- it’s the people’s money. And people deserve easy access to details about how it is spent.

   “Transparency is the backbone of good government. When spending is done in full public view, public officials are usually more accountable. And spending transparency empowers taxpayers. So again, I’d like to thank the Turbeville mayor and council for their commitment to quality, transparent governance.”
