Legislature to tackle budget and lottery in 2001 session
The South Carolina General Assembly opens its 2001 session facing two main debates the budget and the state lottery. Gov Hodges proposes a teacher pay rise toward the national average and a 15 percent across the board cut for non education budgets, a move Republicans may resist. Lottery funds should aid education and targeted programs rather than general education financing, with voters supporting funds for scholarships and tech in classrooms. The editorial urges careful use of lottery proceeds aligned to education goals.

Controversy Over Hunley Discovery Credit In South Carolina
Former state official argues Lee Spence, an underwater archaeologist from Charleston, found the Hunley in 1970 and documented it, while the Hunley commission credited Clive Cussler. He cites extensive letters, salvage-right applications, and government acknowledgments from 1970s figures to urge a fair reconsideration, noting Spence’s later public prominence.
