Richards To Leave Insurance Position In South Carolina
John G. Richards will not seek reappointment as South Carolina's insurance regulator in 1995 ending a 10 year tenure as commissioner and 22 years with the department.

Meanwhile in Spartanburg the state Cosmetology Board weighs training needs before allowing the use of high tech manicure drills after injuries attributed to untrained use.
