I am writing this letter to express my support of the Richland 2 bond referendum because of the safety and security improvements that are the base of the bond. I am an active parent in the Richland 2 School District and have 4 children currently enrolled in Richland 2 schools. I have spent countless hours volunteering […]

Guest Editorial: Martin answers unsigned letter
October 4, 2018 By
I am responding to an unsigned letter to the editor titled A Letter from the Resistance, published in the Sept. 27 issue of The Country Chronicle. Councilwoman Angela Harrison has since come forward to identify herself as the writer of the editorial. While Councilwoman Harrison is passionate in her beliefs, her comments are patently not […]
Letter: R2 Uses Smoke & Mirrors
October 4, 2018 By
I attended a presentation a few weeks ago to learn more about the proposed bond referendum for Richland Two. It is my understanding that Richland Two is requesting two separate votes for a total of $468 million dollars, calling it a referendum for mostly security items. I want safe schools like everyone in South Carolina. I was […]
Letter: $468M Bond Too Costly
October 4, 2018 By
I read the article on the 20th of Sept. and agree that we cannot afford another tax increase because of a school board when the previous bonds have not been repaid.

The district instead reverted to the state purchasing guidelines which have much more flexible acquisition procedures. […]

Online and otherwise, there’s a lot of information out there, and sometimes it’s difficult to tell what sources are credible. With millions of people relying on Social Security, scammers target audiences who are looking for program and benefit information. The law that addresses misleading Social Security and Medicare advertising prohibits people or non-government businesses from […]
Letter to the Editor: Exemption Could Save 126 Element Jobs
August 16, 2018 By
The national Fair Trade policy debate obscures the real Fairfield related issue – we can ill afford 126 job losses. Let’s support an exemption for Element and save vital jobs. The exemption’s impact on national policy would be so tiny it would not even register. However, an exemption’s impact on already fragile Fairfield would be […]
