County Era of Reassessment Raises Millage Uncertain
County Administrator William Shepherd said calculations are unfinished and he will not guess the new tax levy. Reassessment notices began arriving in mid July as the county plans to present millage figures at the July 18 meeting. About 77,536 parcels were assessed with over 60,000 increases, and only 10 to 15 percent may be appealed though officials expect more.

SCE&G faces large rate increase request for Cope plant
The South Carolina Electric and Gas Co requests a large rate hike to fund the Cope plant with opponents from the South Carolina Energy Users Committee arguing the overall size is excessive. If approved, SCE&G would raise rates by about 16 percent since 1999 to cover construction costs, with most new charges slated to start when operations begin next year.
