S.C.'s GOP congressmen jump off the stimulus train

Today's editorial analyzes the decision by four GOP S.C. congressman to oppose a stimulus bill that contains good things for South Carolina:

The Republican members of the S.C. congressional delegation profess to love the potential benefits to South Carolina of an economic stimulus package. Nonetheless, all four Republican House delegation members, including U.S. Rep. Henry Brown, our local guy, and U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett, who reportedly has gubernatorial aspirations, voted against the $819 billion stimulus plan Wednesday.

Hard times alter the logic of impact fees

Today's editorial explains how hard times require a different approach to a common local question: Should existing residents or new residents finance the public improvements made necessary by growth?

In this time of recession, is it still wise for local governments to shift the costs of growth from folks who already live here to folks who relocate here? Or should local governments wait for better times to order such shifts, the favorite instrument for which is the impact fee?

Ousted WPDE-TV anchor says farewell

In a letter to the editor, an former local TV anchorman explains why he's off the air:

By Jim Heath

After six years of loyal service to WPDE television, including 5,000 plus newscasts, extensive political reporting and debates and numerous community appearances, the management of WPDE determined last Friday not to allow me to say goodbye to you on air. You should know the decision to leave WPDE was not mine, but determined for me during contract time.

Unemployment spat makes pawns of laid-off workers

Today's editorial notes that the political buzz saw over S.C. unemployment benefits is chewing up laid-off workers:

"This morning ... my son was laid off from work. He went to apply for unemployment benefits and was told that it'll be two months before Columbia processes the paperwork. Two months. Or is this Gov. Sanford's way of saying that he won't request a loan from the federales?" -- Letter to the editor

A lot of laid-off workers around our state are getting messages similar to the one above: We can't help you right now because the system is embroiled in political controversy.
