If there is one thing to which the old cliché “It was in all the papers” aptly applies, it is Fairfield County’s recreation debate and its long-awaited plan, revealed last September, to spend $500,000 in each of its seven voting districts. That Ridgeway Town Council was surprised last month to learn that the plan for […]
District 3 Preview
January 9, 2015 By
Mikel Trapp claims personal credit for donations to churches and donated supplies for school students. The truth is that the taxpayers in Fairfield County paid these expenses. There is no such thing as a ‘Saving Fairfield Tea Party Republication Candidate’ in Fairfield County! Ask Tangee Brice Jacobs and Col. Walter Stewart their affiliation with a […]
District 3 Options
December 19, 2014 By
Voters in District 3 can vote for Mr. Trapp and they will get a long line of excuses, denials, resentment, opposition, hostility, an empty chair half the time, and when he is in the chair a true lack of sincere interest in understanding the needs of the community. Many meetings he has left early with no notice […]
Vote Stewart
December 19, 2014 By
Fairfield County needs strong leadership on County Council with good ‘Business Sense.’ In the near future, voters in District 3 can elect a citizen with the knowledge we need to help the Council to be fiscally responsible. Col. Walter Stewart has a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management and a Ph.D. in Organizational Management. Elect Stewart […]
Naughty or Nice?
December 19, 2014 By
It is the season for giving, and there has been no shortage of it in Fairfield County and Blythewood of late; although some of what has been passed along appears more like a gnarly lump of sooty coal than anything one might put a bow on. If Santa is indeed watching, it looks as though […]
Priceless
December 12, 2014 By
Everything may indeed, as the saying goes, have a price; there may also be things, however, for which a price would be so absurdly high as to render that thing essentially priceless. Other things there are still for which one cannot imagine a price, however high. The Statue of Liberty, for example, and Mt. Rushmore, […]
Quarry Questions
December 3, 2014 By
I am a homeowner from the Fairfield County community that is affected by the recent announcement of plans to operate the rock crushing quarry company, Winnsboro Crushed Stone. Although the decision to permit the operation is now up to the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control, Fairfield County Council has shown concern for their community’s concerns and […]
Reverse Robin Hoods
November 28, 2014 By
Our State legislature has sat on the sidelines for too long as the utility companies have been permitted to legally rob their consumers for the last six years. Thanks to the S.C. Base Load Review Act, our legislature has placed the public in a very vulnerable position of economic servitude to the public utilities as […]
Give and Take
November 28, 2014 By
Soon District 3 voters will have a choice: join three other County districts and vote for the future by electing a new type of Councilman, or stay “Trapped” in the past with nothing to look forward to, just the same old, same old, with no one to lead them into a promising future. First, the […]
The Truth is Out There
November 28, 2014 By
A couple of the Fairfield County Council members have remarked that the ads I ran in The Voice (Oct. 24 and Oct. 31) were all lies. I have with me the FOI information from the Fairfield County administration to repudiate the comments of the council members about the ads. What was a lie? The Deputy Administrator […]
