A guest editorial warns that heat causes more deaths annually than floods, tornadoes, or hurricanes and calls Charleston to expand heat research and resilience. It notes city efforts tracking extreme heat, emphasizes protecting vulnerable residents, and urges more trees and a regional nonprofit to promote urban cooling.
Teresa Harper of Aiken voices concern that the Aiken County GOP executive committee censured Sen. Lindsey Graham for backing the bipartisan infrastructure bill. She argues compromise, national needs, and infrastructure funding affect all Americans, urging unity beyond pre Trump era divides.
Cindi Ross Scoppe argues the SC legislature created and passed a school mask proviso only after Gov McMaster ordered schools to drop masks, linking it to budget provisions that slip past scrutiny. The ruling on the proviso will hinge on constitutional interpretation of minority coalitions and legislative process.
