The Aiken Standard lists its founding era as 186, with RANDY MITCHELL as Publisher JOHN BOYETTE as Executive Editor and SHANA DONAHUE as News Editor.
The editorial questions H.4087’s expanded economic incentives aimed at attracting employers to South Carolina. It notes reduced job requirements, counting out‑of‑state residents, and new tax breaks for water and power plant use, urging transparency and focus on genuine benefits for South Carolinians. It warns of data centers like Google increasing water and energy use while paying low taxes and questions headquarters eligibility and local race to recruit.
The Aiken Standard invites signed letters with writer address and daytime phone for verification. Letters under 500 words may be edited for length clarity and taste. Anonymous or pen name letters are not published. Include a brief headline and email to letters aikenstandard com.
Kathleen Parker argues the New York Court of Appeals reversal in Harvey Weinstein's case and prior Cosby ruling expose limits of the MeToo era. She notes the need for solid evidence, warns against leniency for powerful figures, and asserts victims should pursue verified claims promptly. The column emphasizes accountability and warns perpetrators that karma remains possible.
A letter from Mary Mason of Aiken argues public hearings are used to frame outcomes before hearings, cites a $182 million city demand, and questions plans for the Northside gateway and a mixed-use building on Newberry. She asks about allowed uses on upper floors and notes missed email.
