State House blocks clearer path to judge selection reform
The Greenville News argues that the state House delays any move from legislative to gubernatorial appointment of judges, citing nine new judges next year and a Senate approved change requiring lawmakers to resign to seek judgeships. The piece notes 1996 as an election year and public discontent with the current system benefiting sitting lawyer-legislators. Interstate 73 changes anger South Carolina officials by reducing federally funded miles.
