Here are the top three stories in Hilton Head today:

1. Beaufort County Administrator Eric Greenway has been fired by the County Council following a misconduct complaint received by the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office and the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office. Council Chairman Joe Passiment confirmed Greenway was terminated with cause; however, he refrained from providing further details due to ongoing legal considerations. John Robinson, the assistant county administrator of Public Safety, will serve as the acting county administrator. (WSAV-TV)
