Local voter Ronald Binns sued to disqualify Vaughters, arguing her Statement of Economic Interest from her SC position is invalid for a new office. Attorney Tucker Player cites precedent and says only the SEI filed for the current officeholder counts. Vaughters says resignation to run does not negate her 2011 SEI and expects to prevail.

Graham provision clears 40 tanks at Savannah River Site
In 2004 a Senate provision authored by Graham allowed DOE to close 40 one million gallon waste tanks at SRS. The measure passed by one vote and was signed by President Bush. The closure cut costs and reduced environmental risk, praised by officials including Catherine Templeton and Thomas D Agostino. The tanks date from 1958 to operation in the 1980s with closures continuing at SRS. Teddy Kulmala reports for the Aiken Standard.
