Proposal To Pay Prisoners Medical Bills Opposed
New Ellenton Mayor Randy Shaw called a county plan to make municipalities pay prisoners medical bills "out of the question" after a Thursday meeting with 10 towns. County officials say prison medical costs are rising and an ordinance would assign bills to municipalities while clarifying county responsibility. The county spends about $100,000 yearly on prisoner medical services, with towns like Aiken and North Augusta not bearing those costs.

Washington lawmakers face higher living costs as a 28 percent pay raise coincides with tax hikes on liquor and tobacco. Salaries rose from 54,600 to 125,100 with a 25 percent one time boost plus a 3.5 percent cost of living increase in 1991. Senators received 3.6 percent raises to 101,900.

Lawman Questions Dismissal
Bamberg former police chief George Morris, 49, says he is angry after being fired December 31 at a special Bamberg Town Council meeting. He ties the dismissal to the November arrest of attorney Billy Kemp on obstruction of justice charges, which Kemp denies. Kemp’s arrest stemmed from a $2,000 payment allegedly to coax a Pre Trial Intervention for a client, with a taped exchange inside the Bamberg County Courthouse. Morris consulted Solicitor Barbara Morgan, who confirmed the arrest context and investigation. Kemp declined comment.
