Members of Lancaster Fire Department were celebrated with a reception in their honor in city hall Tuesday, May 12  just prior to the Lancaster City Council meeting.

Lancaster City Council discussed the crucial issue of roads, which was not even on its agenda at the Tuesday, May 12, meeting, but is a current hot topic in media and homes across the state.

A raid at a home in Indian Land’s Carolina Reserve neighborhood last month was part of a federal investigation into a cross-country marijuana trafficking and money laundering ring.

If all goes according to Lancaster County Council’s plan, the upcoming county budget will include funding to address several public safety concerns – namely more patrol deputies, a chemist for the sheriff office’s drug testing lab and additional legal staff to help reduce the county’s court backlog.
