The closing of Palmetto Brothers will have a rippling effect in downtown Laurens. In addition to the direct service they offer, they are the biggest advocates for the other small businesses located on the county square. They’ve sponsored outdoor music events that bring out pedestrian traffic. This is a major blow to a town that has finally seen some momentum following decades of decline.

The “perverse false dichotomy”….a GOP legislator-lawyer who lives on tort claim insurance payouts while proclaiming to be conservative and pro-business. At least the Democrats like Harpootlian aren’t hypocrites on this issue… they declare what they are for the world to see…they basically wear their anti-business patch on their sleeve and swagger around bragging about all the insurance cash they rake in suing businesses in hellhole venues. The joint & several liability rule of SC has been plainly known for 30+ years to be harmful to businesses of all types when an idiot harms someone else and the business is merely 1% at fault….this is ONLY a matter of political willpower and therefore the demonstration of power of the clout of the SC Trial Attorneys’ Association a.k.a “SC Association of Justice” [barf] in the Legislature- greater than BMW, Boeing, Volvo, Michelin, and all the other Fortune 500 companies that have come here, as well as the “zip code” of all of their subcontractors and suppliers who have set up shop here. THAT is true power.

I disagree, Hartpootlian is a hypocrite on EVERYTHING and also a Left Wing, Liberal, Woke democrat (American Communist Party) member. There is nothing this lying politician has ever done for South Carolinians except Lawyers.
