The election was f’ed up but i don’t know that actual laws were broken. There are laws around how the money can be spent, and all guilty should be prosecuted.

Working just inside the law is very costly for We the People.

ALERT: A message to ME from OUR leader-THE #1 public servant and politician in SC:

Dear Friend,

It’s difficult to combine the joy of Christmas, with the end of a fundraising quarter…but here we are! So I write to say Merry Christmas, and to say that if there is a way you can help us before the end of the year I would really appreciate it.

The Omnibus bill now before Congress is a case study on why we need more voice for financial restraint in Washington. This bill adds $50 billion to the deficit and comes on the heels of bills this year that added another $106 billion to the deficit.

Whatever you might be able to contribute will help and so I ask you to consider giving$10, $25, $100 or $500…..

Again, Merry Christmas….and thank you for your consideration.

Mark Sanford

USC and a handful of other large institutions will end up with the lion’s share of that money. The people of Richland County, an minority county, was taken for a ride by a few super connected wealthy white guys and their Uncle Tom friend.

Can you imagine how much to the proposed 49 billion dollar gas tax will go straight into the pockets of those that are setting the tax up?

Top to bottom, the fix was in.
Our governmental officials are supposed to be people we can trust, and if they violate that trust, we should be able to redress the issue.
Unfortunately, you must have a few honest soles in local and state government for this to work. Looks like we lose.

“This puppet then proceeded to rig the vote – targeting excessive shortages of voting machines in county precincts that voted against the tax hike two years earlier”

The ONLY way that works is if the voters are too lazy to wait in line…so, if true, we only have ourselves to blame.

Ask why the fug the main road that needs to get fixed- hard scrabble- just got pushed back to not even begin bidding until mid 2016, when it was first slated to begin work in mid 2015.

Hardscrabble Road widening is not part of the Richland Penny program.

Theoretically it is, as some of the Richland Penny money is going towards it, although since DOT is doing the work, they can just blame DOT for the delay.

They will have to cut some of the white folks in on the gravy if they want this to get swept under the rug.

Fits you make it sound like planting trees and narrowing streets is a bad thing.

Downtown Columbia is becoming and will become more and more pedestrian friendly. Wide, multi-lane roads like Assembly and Huger are eyesores and are barriers to making downtown more liveable. Downtown needs more trees, wider sidewalks, more bike paths and less lanes of car traffic. The more liveable downtown becomes, the more attractive Columbia becomes as a place to live and do business.
