Assembly Sees Big Turnover In The South Carolina House
In Columbia, roughly two dozen lawmakers may depart after this year’s election with about a dozen House members not seeking re election for personal reasons or to dodge political taint. Veterans like Toy Nettles and Ed Bennett cite age and family time while party leaders blame public distrust and national trends.
