Our great citizens of Fairfield County received another flyer in support of the sales tax increase into our homes. Both flyers failed to state the contents of the referendum itself, why? The referendum states IN THE EVENT SUCH SALES AND USE TAX IS INADEQUADE, SUCH BONDS SHALL BE PAYABLE FROM A SUFFICIENT AD VALOREM TAX […]
Letter: Keep Joe Wilson & the military
October 29, 2020 By
I have known Congressman Joe Wilson for more than twenty years. Joe is a proven leader for the Second Congressional District. He has a keen understanding and passion for military personnel and their families having served in the military and currently serving on the U.S. House Armed Services Committee. In a state that is home […]
Letter: A Brighter Future
October 29, 2020 By
Much has been said about the proposed penny sales tax. As Chairman of the Fairfield Water and Sewer Authority I feel obligated to weigh in on this important issue. For the past thirty years I have witnessed industry leaving Fairfield County. This has resulted in little population and or job growth, which in turn requires […]
Letter: Harrison is Not Moderate
October 29, 2020 By
The DNC is trying to package Jamie Harrison as a nice guy/moderate. While he seems like a nice guy, South Carolinians deserve to know the whole truth. Jaime Harrison is not a moderate. He is a member of the liberal Democratic Party that is working to destroy American values across the nation. You may not […]

Some citizens who live along Cedar Creek and in the Center Creek neighborhood are using fear-mongering and misinformation to try to trick Fairfield voters into defeating the three county council incumbents who have helped bring in 5 new industries, 800 jobs, almost $100 million investment in the county and the lowest unemployment rate in 20 […]
Letter: A “NO” Holds County Back

Letter: Re-elect Bertha Goins
October 15, 2020 By
When we go to vote in District 4, let’s vote with our minds, not with our neighbors in our ear. In Fairfield, we have elected some of the worst choices possible in past administrations including a registered sex offender. The end result of electing the wrong person is simple. We the citizens get absolutely no […]
Letter: Where’s Our Rep?
October 15, 2020 By
After researching the penny sales tax wastewater treatment upgrade and speaking to members of the Fairfield County Council and community, I have a couple of questions about our current State House Rep. 1.) How does our District 41 State House Rep. not know what’s going on in the county she supposedly lives in? 2.) Why […]

I, Shirley Greene would like to announce my candidacy for the Fairfield County Council District 2 seat in the November election.

Letters: So, what was the tweet?
October 8, 2020 By
It is imperative that Richland 2 release the social-media posting of the freshman at Blythewood High School who was the subject (target) of a two-page apology by the District and the letter from the principal. How can the public have a conversation about racism, when it knows how the District will react? Students, teachers and […]
