State Senators, please stand up for our 1st Amendment rights

The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights applies to us all. It is past time for South Carolina to have anti-SLAPP laws which preclude the rich and powerful from trampling on our First Amendment rights. I urge Tom Davis and Chip Campsen, as well as all South Carolina senators, to ensure this legislation passes this year.

Ridgeland rejects Tickton Hall annexation

It is Thursday, Sept. 18, and I’m sitting in a wood-paneled room in Ridgeland, S.C. It is 8 p.m., and most of the 35 other people in this small, jammed-packed room are jubilant; happy because the Ridgeland Town Council has just voted, 4-1, to reject the proposed annexation, proposed rezoning and proposed development agreement presented by Tickton Hall Investments, LLC; Euhaw Holdings, LLC; Tickton Hall Holdings LLC; and Pepper Hall LLC.
