The Richland 2 School Board stuck it to the voters, taxpayers, parents, staff and students on May 12, when it voted to suspend Board Policy BEDH – Public Participation at Meetings. Not suspend it temporarily, as Amelia McKie explained. There was no “temporarily” about it. They voted 6-1 to suspend it. That means it is […]
Letter: Vote Integrity for Senate
May 21, 2020 By
Republicans in Fairfield, Chester, and York Counties, I ask you to vote for MaryGail Douglas in the democratic primary on June 9th! Why would the Fairfield County Republican Party Executive Committeeman ask you to vote in the democratic primary? We simply have to vote out Liberal Democrat State Senator Mike Fanning. Fanning demonstrated questionable behavior […]
Letter: Let’s Vote
April 2, 2020 By
Eureka! The Chester Election Commission has provided us with wonderful news. The Commission’s recent election fillings indicate we can now have a State Senator who values achievements over showmanship. Furthermore, we can now elect a State Senator who will work with other state legislators to sponsor and pass real legislation which actually does something to […]
Letter: WWTP Threatens Creek
March 5, 2020 By
My ancestors can be traced to Fairfield County more than 100 years back. I came here 20 years ago to get away from “the city” and urban sprawl. I feel that I belong here and I want to stay here. I would like to know that decision is because I choose to stay not because […]

The published agenda for the Feb. 11 R2 School Board meeting included a request to change the March 24 meeting to March 31 to accommodate a request from the Digital League of Innovative Schools and the Compton Unified School District. “These organizations have asked [Superintendent] Dr. Davis to present on the equity initiatives underway in […]
Letter: Residents Misunderstood
January 16, 2020 By
The Fairfield County Council meeting last night (1/13/20) was quite a good show. Neighbors from Center Creek Community misunderstood the Resolution. We voted to pass the Resolution so we could have money to purchase property in the Southeastern part of Fairfield County. It was not a vote to purchase the Syrup Mill Road property. We […]
Letter: WHS Pride Soars
October 31, 2019 By
I was really disappointed and hurt when I read the headline of the article about SAT scores (BHS shines, WHS lags on SAT,AP) in the Thursday, October 17 issue of The Voice. To see our school described in such a negative way made me sad for our kids and teachers who work so hard. My […]
Letter: Keep Voice of Citizens
October 10, 2019 By
I read recently in The Voice that our County Council has voted to revoke the (2nd) second citizen’s comment portion, of voicing their thoughts publicly. It appears to me that the voice of the people in Fairfield County no longer counts. I’ve lived in this county my entire life. My family has been here generations. […]
Letters: Replace the Solicitor
October 3, 2019 By
I thank you for having the guts to report this horrible animal abuse! Many people are not aware unless the news media reports these abuses. This solicitor needs to be replaced, he has allowed animal abuse to continue without punishment to the owners! Hopefully, the people of Fairfield County will not be silent and get […]
Letters: “It Wasn’t A Circus”
September 26, 2019 By
While there is one level of disappointment in the fact that apparently the majority of County Council has decided not to support a once in a lifetime opportunity for the school district and the town of Winnsboro, it is especially disappointing for an elected councilman to question the honesty and motivation of volunteers who have […]
