Publisher Rhonda Overbey and editor Michael Harris lead The Aiken Standam with Holly Kemp as News Editor. The publication carries a Susan Sontag quotation about truth and the power of speaking and writing to reveal it.
The piece argues stricter fuel economy rules benefit drivers through lower gas costs and fewer pollutants, while critics say oil firms and car makers lose. It notes the EPA will review Obama era standards, with California waivers under threat, and cites potential energy independence and climate benefits as reasons for keeping tighter rules.
In letters to the editor Don and Bonnie Meadows commend USC Aiken men's basketball for thanking attending fans after warmups and honoring veterans at baseball games with God Bless America. Rob Courtenay thanks an anonymous good Samaritan who returned a lost wallet after a downtown restaurant incident.
Guest columnist argues against allowing retired teachers and police to collect full salaries and pensions while back in state service. The piece traces TERI and double dipping from 2000 reforms to 2012 and 2018 phasing out, then critiques S.828 proposals to waive caps for retirees, urging no exceptions to protect the pension system. It cites Sen. Mike Fanning, Kevin Johnson, Nikki Setzler, and Sen. Sean Bennett.
