North Augusta Eyes Sewer Tap Fee Hike to 600
North Augusta City Council discussed raising sewer tap fees from 250 to 600 at a Monday night study session. City administrator Charles B. Martin cited outdated code and pending revisions to sewer service sections and cleanup of ordinance language. A large industrial user fee would drop from 1.67 to 1.30 per thousand gallons to cover O&M costs. The council will review code revisions at the next meeting and consider annexing land at Martintown Road and Gregory Lake Road for a residential development.

Harte Defends Drug Policy Against Critics at Rotary
Solicitor Robert J. Harte told the Aiken Rotary Club that liberal critics who seek drug decriminalization would not halt crime or substance abuse. He cited alcohol and drug abuse as factors in over 90 percent of crimes, urged education campaigns, and advocated victim rights in sentencing. He noted ongoing prosecutions and potential further trials for Paul Koon, and highlighted Second Circuit pre-trial and victims witness programs as models. The talk occurred as Harte discussed crime, drugs, and justice alongside Rotary activities at Houndslake Country Club.
