Fragmentary line hints at the closing legislative session month but lacks concrete dates or context to establish a clear schedule or outcomes.
The legislature backs the highway bond plan while the Senate shows strong support and the House passes it by a safe margin. If the Supreme Court upholds the facts as constitutional the matter may go to the United States Supreme Court, delaying final rulings by months and politicizing campaigns across the state. An en banc session of the South Carolina Supreme Court, with all fourteen circuit judges, is set for Friday to decide the issue, with opinions expected soon and multiple viewpoints likely to emerge. Meanwhile the highway department remains idle awaiting the ruling, as attorneys for and against the measure prepare for oral argument.
A collage of light humor and a Will Rogers testimonial. The piece notes Rogers declining endorsements, includes a mock letter, and shares dated quips about pricing, Greece, American cooking, and daily life. Names and places are referenced in a playful, period-voice style.
