Red Ventures gets my heart rate up, and not for a good reason. Every time you see them in a newspaper article, television or on the radio, advertising for one of their big job fairs, they always say they are in Fort Mill.
There are very few residents of Indian Land or even Lancaster County working in Red Ventures. They have not found qualified applicants in our county, even after special efforts have been implemented for training classes at York Tech.
Now they want the road to their buildings named Red Ventures.

The FOI reform bill now working its way through the state legislative process is a good bill that would give citizens faster and more affordable access to public information.
Spearheaded by Rep. Bill Taylor, R-Aiken, the bill would prevent agencies from charging fees that exceed actual copying costs or exceed the local prevailing rate.
The fee schedules would have to be posted online and charges for document searches could not exceed the prorated hourly salary of the lowest paid employee with skills and training to perform the request.

The Obama administration wants more gun restrictions. The justice department isn’t enforcing the laws that are already on the books. They  say they don’t have the money, yet the president wants more laws. What he and others would like is confiscation. I hope everyone realizes, even the hunters could lose use of their guns if the Feinstein bill passes. There are so many restrictions in her bill it will make almost every rifle, some home-defense shotguns and every pistol with a removable magazine illegal.
