The Dawkins Community Association held its first meeting on March 7, 2011. The meeting was held to contemplate on what was needed to bring our community together. The D.C.A. was founded by Bruce Wadsworth because one of our dear community members and friends was murdered. There was about 75-plus individuals to attend the meeting. It […]

First I want to thank everyone for all the support! I learned great respect for the law and the importance of serving others from an early age. I’m a family man that understands the importance of providing a haven for children to learn and play and for the senior citizens to feel safe. I reflect […]

As simple as this may sound, it astounds me that instead of giving all the facts together with an honest direction from our County Council and Administration, we are getting word salad. Sometimes it passes with little question because it’s phrased in such a manner to disguise the truth for whatever reason they have. Monday […]

A while back, Our Vice-Chairman of the Fairfield County Council made the remark that all roads leading to Lake Wateree were ‘Slick as Glass.’ Undoubtedly he was in an airplane at 30,000 feet where the roads do look like they are ‘Slick as Glass.’ I spent the weekend of March 5 campaigning for the Fairfield […]

Blythewood Town Council, in a masterful feat of leadership, has moved to correct a long-standing problem: pot-hole filled McNulty Road and the need for an attractive walkable downtown.

Just how many more scandals can Midlands politicians generate? Apparently the number of misdeeds embedded in some Midlands politicians’ DNA is infinite. Where is the shame amongst our politicians? When will we put a stop to this circus? It is obvious civic history has not been fully digested by all of the Midlands government leaders. […]

If it’s not the County Council’s short coming, then it must be the taxpayers, and if it’s not us maybe it’s the Administrator. Whoever or whatever the case is, the facts seems to be lost and the truth is nowhere to be found. We ask for transparency and we are handed a brick. Try looking […]

My name is Jimmy Ray Douglas, and I am running for the District 2 County Council seat that is currently held by Carolyn Robinson. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered concerning money received by Fairfield County that is never included in our County budget each year. If I am elected […]

DHEC for the last 25 years has tried to get Fairfield County to sign a contract with them to close the landfill. Fairfield County has refused. DHEC is worried about contaminating other surrounding properties. New wells need to be drilled and contaminated ones are to be tapped. DHEC will decide well locations. Carol Crooks, with […]
