Man on Beach Deck Upsets Myrtle Beach Officials and Visitors
Myrtle Beach officials and visitors are frustrated by Paul Scarbrough, a WV native living on a city property deck on North Ocean Boulevard for years. He resists moving, arguing the deck is his right, while motel owner Mitchell Wilson alleges trash, urination, and a beer-behavior incident affecting guests and families. City officials say the deck may be moved, but Scarbrough stays, with Wilson proposing relocation to Malibu, California.

Town budget talks hinge on Tuesday meetings citywide
Towns from Gastonia to Ranlo hold budget sessions this week. Most proposals keep tax rates steady, with some adjustments to water sewer and utility fees. Several councils schedule hearings and votes for late June, detailing capital projects and service charges.
Council approves budget maintains tax rate at 48 cents
The council passed the budget on June 15 keeping the tax rate at 48 cents. Water rates stay at $13 monthly for minimum users while those above minimum will pay $2.25 to $3.18 per 1000 gallons over the minimum. Town Manager Gary Parker notes large industrial users face the biggest impact.

Court reverses NC ruling on helicopter transmissions
The U S Court of Appeals overturned a 1994 ruling ordering Jacksonville salvage firm J E Salvage Co to return helicopter transmissions to the government, saying the dispute falls under the Contract Disputes Act and that the transmissions valued at about 750000 dollars are the firm's property. The case began with a Cherry Point air station surplus sale error where four transmissions were found in empty containers bought for 50 to 90 dollars.
