  • Mulvaney has intelligence, experience, drive to work for us

    A recent guest column was full of inaccuracies and showed a lack of understanding of the difficult and highly competitive business of bringing new jobs to our area.

  • Long promises to be 'open, honest, accessible'

    Running for the S.C. House District 45 seat has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.

    The news on the front page of the Oct. 15 edition was depressing no matter how you read it.

    This was obviously written by a Norrell supporter, who had a mastery of the English language because the handout made the good look bad.

    The author also must be a noted fiction writer because he or she did not check out their facts about either person.

    It painted the picture that Mulvaney is a person who is far from caring about the environment and common people in general. This is so far from the truth that it hurts.
