Bitter fight over district mapping set for Tuesday
In South Carolina the Senate killed a reapportionment plan and approved a temporary compromise. A third reading clash looms Tuesday over whether to keep metropolitan areas together in districts and how large the Third District should be under a subcommittee plan. Senators Moore and Theodore opposed the subcommittee plan while Russell Shealy and Setzler supported it amid broad opposition to stretching the Third District from the Piedmont to the seacoast.
