Council members say House Bill 3290 will rob counties of power to reject solid waste from other states

At their regular May meeting, council passed a resolution opposing House Bill 3290 According to the Edgefield Advertiser, the “Business Freedom to Choose Act” was designed to prevent government entities from excluding competition regarding landfill usage and setting prices on solid waste services.

Victim of flesh-eating bacterium continues to rebound and astound.
The latest evolution of Aimee Copeland, suffering the effects of flesh-eating bacteria, includes a new pair of "bionic" hands.

Aimee's father, Andy Copeland, a Spartanburg native and USC graduate, told the Associated Press: "All four days she sent us videos of things she could do. The second day she was moving water between cups. On the third day she was cutting a cucumber. On the fourth day she was doing more typical things, like applying makeup to her face and more personal things." A quick recap: …

Latest controversy has legislators split.
Last week the state airplane became a source of controversy yet again. Democrats accused Gov. Nikki Haley of misusing the state plane and the governor's staff provided documentation that she had not. The Democrats countered by saying that even if the governor had not violated the letter of the law, she had violated it in spirit. The state senate then spent much of an afternoon debating whether or not the Budget Control Board should look into simply selling the planes. As has been noted before, just about any part of the state can be reached in a few hours by car and the state could always charter a plane when it was absolutely necessary. Selling the two planes the state owns would probably net the state a significant windfall. The two …
