Hodges pressed to move flag issue forward in South Carolina
Governor Jim Hodges gathered more than a dozen legislators and business leaders for a closed-door session to resolve the Confederate flag dispute. Public support favors removing the flag from the State house dome, with mayors urging quick action. Hodges is urged to push a simple plan: place the flag in a memorial on state grounds and end the strife. The Island Packet and Sun News editorial boards argue for strong leadership and a simple solution, while noting the NAACP boycott calls stem from decades of inaction. A separate note praises Hodges' proposal for a three day back to school sales tax break in August, estimated to save about $5 million.
