Mount Pleasant OKs district for sweetgrass basket makers
Mount Pleasant moves to create an overlay district allowing sweetgrass basket stands along Highway 17 with buffer rights of way, plus a new Charleston Harbor pavilion set to open in 2008. The plan includes stand size limits, safe access rules, and a joint effort with Charleston County. The town received a $14,000 arts grant for the pavilion, aiding basket weavers as development grows.

Sanford proposes 30 cent cigarette tax hike in South Carolina
Gov. Mark Sanford proposed a 30 cent per pack cigarette tax increase to align with neighbors and free up about 205 million in potential income tax relief. He aims to offset any tax rise with corresponding tax cuts while capping overall state spending and setting aside 98 million for annual tax refunds.
