Public debate over preserving Woodrow Wilson home in Columbia
A Columbia letter argues against rushing taxpayer funding for acquiring the Woodrow Wilson boyhood home for a memorial. It urges private donations instead of state appropriation, cites local deflation and tax burdens, and contrasts Virginia’s memorial effort with South Carolina’s lack of contributions. It endorses preserving the site only if funded privately and warns against politicizing the effort.
