Voters to decide how to pay for courthouse

It was once a question of "if" Lancaster County would build a courthouse using a 1-cent sales tax.

Council approved an installment-purchase plan to build a $33 million courthouse this fall and decided to pay for it with a penny sales tax or an increase in property taxes.

How it's paid for will be decided in a referendum on Tuesday's ballot.

A campaign flier that arrived in homes this week may leave some of you wondering where one of your local papers stands in the S.C. District 16 Senate race.
