Publisher Scott B. Hunter and Executive Editor Tim O Briant direct a historic newspaper note. Advertising Director Dee Taylor and Internet Sales Chief Terri Cheek lead operations with Laura Tiedman and Letitia Jefferson in key roles. The page closes with a James Baldwin quote on hate and pain.
The Richland County row over Lillian McBride and the election office draws sharp critique. Critics demand explanations after a computer breach and botched ballot counts, while McBride faces questions about data sources, misread numbers, and whether predecessor Mike Cinnamon was at fault.
The quotation set reports McCain and colleagues questioning Susan Rice over the Libya raid while a satire line from The Onion about Kim Jong Un appears in Chinese press. It also notes Karen Mills describing business owners urging tax cut extension to boost consumer spending.
A letter criticizes the Benghazi investigation as a White House pursuit and calls for accountability from the president while praising Aiken Public Safety officers who chased and captured a lost rabbit on Lauren Street Bridge and will take it to the SPCA. The writer thanks officers for their conduct and lauds them as model police.
The Herald-Journal argues the South Carolina data breach shows the state failed to secure data and calls for reforms. It urges replacing the income tax with options like a flat tax or a value-added tax to reduce privacy risks and government oversight.
The Aiken Standard invites readers to submit signed letters with the writer’s address and daytime phone for verification. Letters must be under 300 words, may be edited for length and taste, and anonymous or organized-campaign letters will not be published.
