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 […]
Letter: The Rumor Isn’t True
September 17, 2020 By
I am running for re-election in County Council District 2, and as I am out talking with my constituents I have been surprised when some have said they were told I am was involved in making the decision to locate the Mitford Recreation Center in its current location between Districts 2 and 3. I had […]
Letter: It’s Time to Stand Tall
July 2, 2020 By
“Stand tall for South Carolina. Stand tall for our Palmetto State.” My grandmother (Nelle McMaster Sprott) wrote those words and the music to this song almost 70 years ago right here in Fairfield County. I grew up singing about and loving our state because of my grandmother’s deep devotion to this place we call home. […]
Letter: First Masks, What next?
June 25, 2020 By
Perhaps the entire editorial board of “The State” newspaper is more interested in control of our population rather than the prevention of disease. I say this due to the strange out-of-control fury in which “The State” advocates for the Government of South Carolina to begin “telling South Carolinians what’s expected of them – to wear […]
Letter: Let Me Breathe
June 11, 2020 By
When you look at black people, what do you see? Do you see a reason to clench your purse in fear or lock your car doors? Do you presume to get in front of them at the check-out line or call the authorities to “put them in their place”? Do you relish black culture but […]

Letter: Jackson Always Votes BW!
June 4, 2020 By
As we ponder who we want to give our vote to in the Democratic primary on Tuesday, I think it matters a great deal to know something of the person and character of those on the ballot. I think myself fortunate to have served the Town of Blythewood on the planning commission and as a […]
Letter: Looking for Improvement
May 28, 2020 By
This is an election year. Where is the accountability… who do we hold accountable? When was the last time the county held a town hall meeting? When was the last time the county put themselves out for public questioning? When was the last time you saw a survey in this paper or online? For the […]
Letter: County Budget Mostly Good
May 28, 2020 By
Fairfield’s budget process has hit many high notes and some sour ones to date. On the positive side, there will not be any base millage rate increases. Also on the positive side, our Council has demonstrated prudent fiscal restraint on the most extreme requests such as the inane pitch for a $400K non-essential building/monument. Additionally, […]
