Young urges Condon restraint in Firestone flap
Aiken County leaders Ronnie Young and Tim Dangerfield urge Attorney General Charlie Condon to show restraint amid the Firestone tire controversy. Condon filed a lawsuit to speed a recall, drawing letters asking withdrawal. The pair, who helped lure Bridgestone Firestone to build in Aiken County, say local plant not at fault.

Evidence mounts in Firestone tire case hearing
Transport Secretary Rodney Slater agreed to testify before a Senate panel amid new signs Bridgestone/Firestone and Ford knew of tire problems before the recall. Sen. McCain set the Commerce Committee hearing to probe the Aug. 9 recall of 65 million ATX and related tires used on Ford trucks and SUVs. NHTSA links 88 deaths to the tires and urges replacement of 1.4 million more. Bridgestone/Firestone disputes the claim. Slater seeks expanded tools for investigations and a larger budget.

New York entrepreneur Dr Beata Priore of Cypress Project Corp proposed adding microwave ovens to each senior living unit at the Rose Hill site on Greenville Street to satisfy residential needs under RMH zoning. The plan seeks a zoning change to Downtown Business, opposed by residents who fear unwanted uses and precedent. The council considered Office Institutional zoning as an alternative for tighter controls.
