The South Carolina General Assembly overrode eight of 11 vetoed bills after returning to session, a sign of a widening rift with Gov. Mark Sanford. Prior overrides of more than 100 budget line items echo a pattern of conflict despite Republican majorities.
The Orangeburg Times and Democrat notes Gov. Mark Sanford allowed a tougher South Carolina seat belt bill to become law without his signature. It permits tickets for unbelted drivers 18 and older, excludes reporting violations to insurers, and aligns with other states while citing 269 unbelted fatalities this year.
The listing shows Arthur T. Zappa as Advertising Director, Ellen C. Priest as Business Manager, Phillip Yates as Production Director, Scot Newcom as Circulation Director, and J. David Boyd as Systems Manager for the Aiken Standard.

A pastor reflects on Father’s Day and the strained image of fathers in media.
