Waste Site Expected To Survive Fight
CLEARWATER The state Senate may back Gov. Campbell's bid to extend the Barnwell County low level nuclear waste landfill by two years. Sen. Tom Moore says a tougher House fight is likely if the facility is to stay open through 1994, requiring positive votes in both chambers to repeal the closure order. Moore spoke at Clearwater Elementary School outlining pre legislative issues as Assembly reconvenes January 14. Reapportionment, auto insurance, and the state budget also loom large this year.
