I ran for this District 7 council seat two years ago to work toward making Fairfield County a more productive place for our citizens – good paying jobs, nice affordable homes and good places to eat and shop. We have come a long way with 700 new jobs, $70+ million investment in our county and […]
Letter: Re-elect Bertha Goins
October 15, 2020 By
When we go to vote in District 4, let’s vote with our minds, not with our neighbors in our ear. In Fairfield, we have elected some of the worst choices possible in past administrations including a registered sex offender. The end result of electing the wrong person is simple. We the citizens get absolutely no […]
Letter: Where’s Our Rep?
October 15, 2020 By
After researching the penny sales tax wastewater treatment upgrade and speaking to members of the Fairfield County Council and community, I have a couple of questions about our current State House Rep. 1.) How does our District 41 State House Rep. not know what’s going on in the county she supposedly lives in? 2.) Why […]

Letters: So, what was the tweet?
October 8, 2020 By
It is imperative that Richland 2 release the social-media posting of the freshman at Blythewood High School who was the subject (target) of a two-page apology by the District and the letter from the principal. How can the public have a conversation about racism, when it knows how the District will react? Students, teachers and […]

The events of this year have led to significant increases in traffic to news publisher websites, as Americans look to local journalists to inform them about […]
Letter: Vote For America
October 1, 2020 By
I know that many people keep their political views to themselves and just go and vote, but, due to my experience, I think I have the duty to share my opinion. I risked my life and escaped from a socialist dictatorial regime because of political reasons. I had to wait two years for the US […]
Letter: $10 Can Do A Lot for Fairfield
October 1, 2020 By
This Nov. 3, Fairfield voters will be casting one especially critical vote that will either move Fairfield forward or doom it to stagnation for years. It’s the Penny Sales Tax vote. A YES vote for the Penny Sales Tax means each citizen will invest about $10 annually for eight years in additional sales taxes. That […]
Letter: Fairfield Needs WWTP Now
October 1, 2020 By
This letter is to endorse the approval of a new waste-water treatment plant in Fairfield County near Ridgeway. This will allow more growth for the Midlands and is only fair to build this infrastructure for this side of Columbia. I work in commercial real estate, specializing in manufacturing and warehouse facilities, and this is exactly […]
