Next Tuesday, the runoff election for Fairfield County Sheriff will be held. Both candidates, Keith Lewis and Will Montgomery, are fine men and knowledgeable in the law enforcement field. I personally am supporting and voting for Mr. Lewis and feel he is the better candidate for the position. Fortunately for Fairfield County residents, either man […]
Bad Attitude
October 10, 2014 By
As a constituent of Mikel Trapp in District 3, I am appalled by his constant facial smirk and attitude he displays while the citizens are speaking during County Council meetings. He has interrupted citizens during their 3 minute speeches to interject personal objections to their comments. He will walk out of the Council meetings before […]
Dear Chairman
October 3, 2014 By
To begin, the gesture at this past Monday’s (Sept. 22) County Council meeting, to accept citizens’ questions during the bonds segment, was very much appreciated, despite the two ‘No’ votes. This practice should have been in place many years ago, but nonetheless, still appreciated. To my point, during this Council meeting, as in the past, […]
Pick Frick
October 3, 2014 By
I’m supporting William Frick, a resident of Fairfield County, for 6th Circuit Solicitor (the District Attorney) not because he is a Democrat or a Republican, but because he is competent, experienced, able, conscientious, hard-working, wise and ethical. William wants to be a public servant for the good of the community and not to achieve a personal agenda. Further, William is […]
Bond Bomb
October 3, 2014 By
On Sept. 22 the public was subjected to a lazy attempt by County Council to justify the $43 million dollar Fairfield Facilities Corporation bond. The aforementioned presentation was more of an insult to the public’s intelligence than a cogent argument in favor of the creation of a shell corporation to facilitate burdening the citizenry with […]
Bond Double-Talk
September 26, 2014 By
At the Sept. 22 meeting of Fairfield County Council, a fast-talking attorney made a presentation about the 2013 $24 million bond issuance of the Fairfield Facilities Corporation (FFC) and our County’s purchase agreement with the corporation. He doubled down on one of the justifications offered by our County government for why we would agree to […]
Vote Smart
September 26, 2014 By
Sept. 30 is the date for the primary election for Fairfield County sheriff. Oct. 14 is the date to vote if there is a runoff in that election. Nov. 18 is the date to vote for sheriff. On Nov. 4, we are asked to vote for individuals who will lead our county, state and nation for […]
Choose Wisely
September 26, 2014 By
Barring a last-minute write-in miracle on Nov. 18, this Tuesday’s Democratic primary will almost certainly be The Election for Fairfield County Sheriff. The candidates have stumped and speechified, they have littered yards and highways with signs and billboards proclaiming their electability, they have had their faces plastered on nearly everything but milk cartons from Mitford […]
Open Letter to the Chairman
September 23, 2014 By
What type of leader do you propose to be when you sit idly by and permit one of your Council members to grin, snicker and come close to laughing at Mr. Walter Larry Stewart? Speaking at last Monday’s County Council meeting, Mr. Stewart, while at the podium, was openly disrespected in front of the citizens […]
Walboro, U.S.A.

Great reporting on the GO Bond issues being snaked behind the curtain on the county property tax payers by the evidently non-transparent County Council. Operating any budget at maximum debt level is just not smart. Let’s see, a “mock income,” reckon’ that’ll come back to bite us? But wait… 2018 and the new reactor…. Hmmm, […]
