Unlicensed drivers in SC cause crashes and costs rise
South Carolina records show over 156000 suspended or revoked licenses in the state. Even with suspensions, many drive uninsured, pushing costs to insured motorists and insurers. A notable case involves Kenneth Nelms, whose eight suspensions and a fatal crash killed Mildred Thrasher, prompting calls for higher fines and stricter enforcement.

Educators say funding inadequate for some South Carolina schools
State educators in Columbia say the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year falls short of improving early childhood education as ordered by Judge Thomas W. Cooper Jr. The $23 million earmarked for full day kindergarten for four year olds from needy districts is insufficient and lacks necessary classroom space. Districts sue over funding and argue the one year commitment does not meet the judge's ruling on minimally adequate education for kindergarten through 12th grade.
