The Wall Street Journal notes pension smoothing as a government accounting maneuver to delay billions in pension contributions for retirees to fund infrastructure. The $10.8 billion transportation bill replenishes the Highway Trust Fund but raises concern over pension solvency and long term guarantees.
Aiken County Council unanimously approved rezoning several Bonnaview Estates properties along Whiskey Road to a less restrictive category after an April defeat. The Planning Commission had urged limiting scope to Whiskey Road parcels and adopting a lighter designation such as Office Residential or Limited Development.
In a case study of rezoning attempts, an eight parcel plan along Whiskey Road and Shannon Lane shifts from Residential Conservation to Limited Development. After initial rejection, the revised proposal gains Planning Commission support and moves to Council. Local residents voiced concerns about keeping some areas residential. Gary Bunker notes focused development limits traffic and aligns with nearby zonings as Bonniview Estates evolves.
