Belvedere Voters weigh fate of water district and fire post
Belvedere residents go to the polls to decide whether to abolish the water and sewer district and to elect a new fire district commissioner. Analysts note no precedent for abolishing such districts and discuss potential legislative action. The referendum follows bills for a 93 mill tax to fund the district and possible purchase from North Augusta.

Panel Decides Between Raises And Wish List
The House Ways and Means Committee pressed on with budget work to allocate 25.5 million dollars for a possible 4 percent state employee cost-of-living raise while weighing agency wish list items. Chairman Tom Mangum said priority should go to employees to avoid attrition to industry. The panel aims for a 5 percent raise for state workers and added 5.2 million to uncommitted funds, also approving earlier vetoed COLA raises for four agency directors. Last year saw a 2 percent merit raise with no COLA.
