State incentives seek BMW expansion and DaimlerChrysler plant
South Carolina lawmakers push an incentives package backed by Gov Hodges to boost BMW Manufacturing in Upstate and lure DaimlerChrysler’s Sprinter plant to the Lowcountry. The plan would raise the debt limit and authorize up to 500 million in tax exempt bonds to fund infrastructure, with eligibility for projects of 400 million or more and at least 400 new jobs. Leaders from both parties back the measure to keep South Carolina competitive.

Execution date set for man who killed trooper in 1985
Margaret Hazel, mother-in-law of slain South Carolina trooper Bruce K. Smalls, says she hopes the wound heals as Richard Charles Johnson, convicted of the 1985 traffic stop murder, is scheduled to die on May 3. The South Carolina Supreme Court denied a stay, Johnson exhausted appeals, and his attorney vows to continue fighting a possible wrong execution despite the trooper’s family seeking closure.
