Letters

I’d like to answer to Stephen Winn’s letter, “Hopkins not practicing what he preaches,” in the Jan. 26 paper. It’s quite apparent that he didn’t understand the gist of my comments.
I was referring to the revolting display of the left’s lack of morals when, immediately after the Arizona shooting, they tried to place the blame on conservatives, such as the tea party, Sarah Palin, talk radio and others. This occurs every time there is a horrible tragedy.

I am writing to complain about the condition of Taxahaw Road in Lancaster and Kershaw counties. This road runs from S.C. 903 in Lancaster across to S.C. 265 in Kershaw. I have lived off of Taxahaw Road for the past 20 years and it has always been in bad shape.
Other than a few tar patches now and then by the S.C. Department of Transportation, there has not been anything done to this road to significantly improve it.
Ever since the last major accumulation of snow in this area, this road has been in worse shape than ever.

A recent writer stated he was “mystified” why Greg Gregory wanted to run for Senate again. Perhaps he would be interested to know that every 10 years after the census is taken, the lines for Senate districts are redrawn based on changes in population.

This letter is in response to the letter to the editor, “No Need to Bring up Previous Fatalities.”   I am Susan Hardin, mother of the late Elyse Rebecca Hardin. The car crash that took Elyse’slife has been mentioned in several articles since her death. I would first like to state that I speak only for our family. I would never be so disrespectful as to speak for the other families who have also lost a child. They continue to be in our thoughts and prayers daily.
