Edwards says South Carolina not a nuclear waste site
U S Energy Secretary James B Edwards told reporters in Charleston that South Carolina is not being considered for a final repository for high level nuclear waste. He warned that opposition could eliminate any state from hosting waste and criticized Representative Butler Derrick for opposing the plan. Edwards tied his remarks to support for a White House tax package he said would raise 100 billion dollars in three years.

Riley Calls For Local Option Tax in South Carolina
Gov. Dick Riley urged a half cent local option sales tax to ease property tax pressure on homeowners. He told about 300 county workers that local governments should gain revenue independently, allowing voters to decide on the tax option. Riley said it would relieve homeowners and aid counties facing a small tax base and limited revenue.
