It is hard to believe that the Town of Ridgeway officials do not have a clear understanding of the powers given by the constitution to judges, police chiefs and council members. If what I read is factual in “The Voice of Fairfield County” the article concerning the removal of the police chief, etc. and the […]
Letter: Vote Joe June 12
June 7, 2018 By
Joe Mceachern has been a longtime friend to those of us in Blythewood, especially us residents on Rimer Pond Road, LongCreek Plantation, Heins Road area and other areas of the community who have fought zoning issues at the county government level. For the better part of twenty years Joe has stood alongside of what we […]
Letter to Editor: We Only Need $2.7M
March 15, 2018 By
I would like to provide clarification on the recent presentation made before Fairfield County Council by Fairfield Memorial Hospital’s CEO and CFO. It is my understanding that there may have been some difficultly hearing all that was said during the meeting. Each year Fairfield Memorial Hospital and other County related agencies submit their annual budget […]
Letter to the Editor: Scheme or Plan
January 25, 2018 By
It was a sad moment at the Fairfield County Council meeting on Monday, Jan. 22, when it was revealed that only the Council Chairman and the County Manager had read the Town of Winnsboro deed transferring Mt. Zion property to Fairfield County. Councilmen Trapp and Robinson voted against the transfer. The issue is informed decision-making […]
Letter to the Editor: SCANA Wins, We Lose
January 18, 2018 By
According to the latest reports, there seems to be a plethora of winners in the proposed sale of SCANA to another utility company. State legislators are already basking in the benefits of influence peddling. The utility oversight board members will continue to drink from the good ol’ boy trough. Certainly, the stock holders will reap glorious […]
Letter to the Editor: Thank You
January 11, 2018 By
In my letter to the editor published in the Dec. 14, 2017 issue of The Voice, I failed to recognize two vital contributors to the process of bringing a new state of the art Emergency Center to Fairfield County. Let’s correct that serious oversight now. MaryGail Douglas and Creighton Coleman, our local state representatives at […]
Letter to the Editor: Grand Pecan Tree Destroyed
December 14, 2017 By
Last week, a grand pecan tree was destroyed along Muller Road at the edge of my property. While there was brief communication between a workman marking the tree with red “CP” lettering, and an individual doing yard clean-up on my property who later told me what he encountered, there was no communication as to what […]
Letter to the Editor: Don’t Miss this Meeting
December 14, 2017 By
Four years and seven public hearings ago our rural community was threatened by the invasion of commercial zoning. To date, our community has succeeded in fending off the relentless attempts by Mr. Palmer to forever change the landscape of our community. This success has come from the community showing up in large numbers to speak against this zone change. Mr. Palmer […]
Letter to the Editor: It’s a Win-Win
December 14, 2017 By
I want to express my gratitude to Fairfield’s County Council and Fairfield Memorial Hospital’s team for ensuring our community has a permanent, state of the art emergency healthcare facility. With the completion of the Emergency Care contract with Providence, Council and FMH greatly enhanced the county’s fiscal and physical health prospects. The health benefits of a […]
Letters: Hacked!
November 30, 2017 By
I have a love/hate relationship with my computer. When it cooperates we can get work done quickly and efficiently. But when it is slow and cantankerous, it matches my age and condition therefore our relationship is strained. A couple of Monday’s ago, I receive an email message saying, “Your incoming and outgoing emails have been […]
