  • Don't let Senate 16 race become a sideshow

  • Mulvaney wrong about York County Dems

    I read with amusement Mick Mulvaney’s statement that the York County Democratic Party used the Freedom of Information Act to request copies of his e-mails.

    I’m chair of the York County Democratic Party and that is news to me. If Mulvaney gets confused about things like this, one wonders what else he gets confused about?

    What is true is that we in York look forward to Mandy Powers Norrell being one of our state senators.

    We, like y’all, are proud of our public schools and can’t trust Mulvaney to be a good steward of them.

  • Mulvaney brings 'rare package of talent to legislature'

    I’ve been privileged to hold the S.C. Senate District 16 seat for 16 years. Now that my retirement is days away my thoughts turn to the question of who will fill the seat for the next term.

    Both candidates seeking this office are qualified. I’ve watched fondly as Mandy Powers Norrell, my former Sunday school pupil, grow from a young girl into a successful professional.

    She has run an impressive race for this office and could certainly do the job.

    Rep. Mick Mulvaney, however, brings a rare package of talent to the legislature.

  • Bad Christian attends Vigil Mass on Saturdays

    During the past few weeks, there have been letters to the editor criticizing Mick Mulvaney and his fellow Rotarians for cutting the grass along U.S. 521 on a Sunday morning.

    The letter writers implied that Mr. Mulvaney is not a “good Christian” because he was performing a community service on a Sunday morning rather than attending a church service.

    I assume the letter writers are unaware that Mr. Mulvaney and millions of other Roman Catholics in the United States attend Vigil Mass on Saturday in lieu of Sunday services.
