Opinion

  • No one exempt from FOI

     

    The S.C. Press Association has conducted a number of Freedom of Information compliance audits over the past decade, and each audit uncovers law enforcement agencies that disregard the law.

  • Old Stogies members paint...

     

  • 'Good to know God still alive...

    My grandson, Jesse, graduated from Buford High School on May 28. I was never so proud of Buford than on the night of his graduation.

    During the graduation, God was mentioned so many times by the students and faculty. There were prayers said and the Lord’s Prayer was repeated by everyone at the graduation. How often do we hear this in our schools today?

  • 'Don't give Spratt...

    U.S. Rep. John Spratt spoke to the Lancaster Democratic Party in March. Spratt said there are still things he needs to do in Washington and asked for their support in the coming election. I suppose he wants to return to Washington to vote for more legislation that he never reads and will cost South Carolina more money.

  • Residents should have S.C. tags,...

    I would like to make a statement to Steve Willis, county administrator, about his proposal to either increase property taxes or the road fee to pay for traffic sign replacement.

    Why doesn’t the county go after the folks who live in Lancaster County yet they have North Carolina tags on their cars? You see a lot of them around the North Carolina state lines.

  • Officials should govern America to...

    I would like to respond to Ed McAteer’s guest column, “If this were the wild, wild West, we would call him trigger-happy,” in the June 4 edition of The Lancaster News.

    Once again we have another so called Christian who wants to blame all of America’s problems on a two-year president. McAteer still feels justified in questioning a man’s religion, faith and patronizes, just because of his name.

  • ‘Spratt remembers...

     ‘Spratt remembers everything Pelosi tells him’

  • Are there signs of economic...

    Layoffs. High unemployment. Decreasing home values. Pretty much paints the picture of our current economy.

    Actually, that was the picture econmist Steve Rick painted three years ago. Since 2008, Rick has shared his economic philosophy at Lancaster County’s economic forums, which were sponsored by Founders Federal Credit Union and the Lancaster County Chamber of Commece.

  • Kudos to Morrow for SAT effort

  • Jackson Shrine Club grateful for...

     

    The members of Jackson Shrine Club would like to thank Brad Munn and his staff at the Kickstand. Brad and his staff have helped the Shriners raise more than $30,000 during the past three years for Shriners Hospital for Children in Greenville. We would also like to thank the merchants in Lancaster County for their continued support.    

  • Writer supports Jim Rex for governor

     

  • Yankee restores grande dame

     

  • Help us honor those who died for...

    We will have our 19th annual Memorial Day program at 3 p.m. today at Lancaster Memorial Park.

    We ask our community members to join us in remembrance of those who have given so much to assure all our freedoms and now rest in cemeteries throughout this county and South Carolina. We remember them all.

  • If this were the wild, wild West,...

  • Local resident boycotts IL gas...

    Indian Land residents are paying up to 17 cents more per gallon for gas than folks in Lancaster, Fort Mill (Valero charges $2.44), Rock Hill and even Tega Cay.

    When you ask the business owners at the S.C. 160/U.S. 521 and Marvin Road and Doby’s Bridge intersections why, they say to attract North Carolina customers.

    They don’t reduce prices to equal the other South Carolina communities. They only want to entice the North Carolina folks for profits while fleecing local residents. I would surmise that many of the South Carolina residents do not even know it.

  • Jaylen's family grateful for...

    Jaylen Jackson, my 3-year-old granddaughter, was killed in a tragic way. It has been a little more than a month since she was shot while sitting in her car seat. She touched so many hearts. But I found out there are some rude people in this world who are trying to make a profit off my grandbaby’s death.

  • Man apologizes for criminal...

    Dear fellow citizens of Lancaster County:

    I am humbly writing and seeking forgiveness from you all for being one who has committed the horrible act of criminal domestic violence in the past. It’s a terrible crime that destroys the very fabric of a family unit.

  • 1910 Census nosier than 2010

    You hear it over and over: It is vital to our future and well-being to be counted every 10 years.  

    Although there has been little consistency over time, the results have always determined the number of congressmen each state is entitled to.

  • See Lancaster grateful for festival...

    On May 7 and 8, the city of Lancaster celebrated community and the arrival of Spring with the first Red Rose Festival. Citizens and visitors enjoyed top entertainment on two stages, arts and craft vendors, kids activities, great food and a Koss Motorsports car show. Because of the foresight of our City Council, the festival provided a boost in our economy as well as community spirit.

  • Writer: Schmidt doesn't base...

    In reading Rudy Schmidt’s May 9 letter, “Conservatives are now moving again,” my first thought was that we’ve been down this road before.

    The last time he “enlightened” us with his revisionest history I attempted to point out the historical facts. Apparently he felt that they would get in the way of his opinion. Sir, you are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts.

    Time is better spent in the library than with the entertainers on Fox News or talk radio.
