My five colleagues listed here, @ValeskiLucy, @ZakKoeske, @sfretwell83, @JAABPhoto and @m0rgan_hughes brought so much value to @thestate and South Carolina. It will be sad to see them leave us. They would be great additions to any newsroom.
This week, members of The State News Guild were among the scores of McClatchy employees who had their jobs eliminated in the latest round of layoffs. These included valuable members of the Columbia newsroom, including:

A utility in West Virginia that signed Trump’s ratepayer protection pledge continues to ask permission to charge existing retail customers so it can build a power plant to serve data centers in the future. Bad-faith acts like this tar all utilities.
In West Virginia news, a regulated utility that signed Trump’s ratepayer protection pledge continues to ask permission to charge existing retail customers now so it can build a power plant to serve data centers in the future.

South Carolina has spent $690M preparing the Scout Motors site, and Commerce now needs $150M more. I asked the Legislative Audit Council to tell us why, within 120 days. That’s not a refusal to pay. It’s a sequence: find out first, then appropriate. postandcourier.com/opinion/c…

You work hard for your income, and whenever we can leave more of it in your family budget, that’s a win. State and local sales taxes are waived on qualifying school supplies, tech, and clothing this weekend.

Thank you, Senators @harveypeeler & @SenTomDavisSc for putting the people of SC first. Families are working hard, stretching every dollar, and deserve meaningful tax relief. At a time when so many are struggling to make ends meet, fiscal responsibility isn’t just good policy, it’s the right thing to do.

While its "leaders" bicker over political spoils and play the succession game, the South Carolinians they purportedly represent are struggling mightily. Our @TheWillFolks reports... #SCBiz fitsnews.com/2026/07/15/sout…

With Senator @LindseyGrahamSC and others at an event in Bluffton last summer. Like so many, I was stunned to learn of his passing. His love for South Carolina and our country, and his dedication to their wellbeing, went unquestioned, even by his political foes. Rest in peace.
