Lexington County SC smoking ban loses support

Lexington County South Carolina

2 weeks ago the new smoking ban law went into effect for all of Lexington County SC and last night the council retreated on its decision. There must have been a myriad of complaints form local bar and restaurant owners voiced during the last 2 week. I have talked with several business owners that have told me they have already seen a decline in revenue form the councils actions. Particularly the Bar's restaurant combination owners. "In a time when eating out is already one of the luxuries that consumers cut back on its not the time to muddy the water on our patrons" one owner told me.

Four of our local city governments have adopted a smoking ban in recent months after County Council failed for months to bring the issue to a vote. Columbia, Richland County and the towns of Lexington and also Camden in Kershaw County. West Columbia is considering one and Irmo has rejected a ban all together.

For now owners are required to post a sign alerting customers of there smoking policy. More debate and talk are sure to come. I say let us decide it in the next polls and see what our community as a whole has to say instead of letting a few decide the fate of this law. Isnt that what our government is set up for?

Regardless don't be hindered by venturing out to try some of the wonderful and diverse food experiences in Lexington South Carolina. For a list of local restaurants you can find them here.

South Carolina Schools, Outdoor education program

South Carolina Schools

Students at Palmetto Middle School in Anderson County will soon be able to go hunting, fishing or camping through a program designed to get kids interested in nature through a partnership with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. This is the first school in the state to offer the program that has both in class and after school activities.

Not all students like or want to play team or individula sports. Not all of them have the skill set to accomplish it. But everyone can fish and hike. And in a state that 36% of our children are obese or overweight this may be the recreation that they need. And one that they may love!

This is way out of the norm of what a traditional after-school program would look like. It will enhance what the school is already doing in environmental education. And will teach these children to appreciate nature and outdoors.

Parents and students are all invited to learn about the program during the open house. After-school choices will include boating, fishing, hunting, hiking, land navigation, animal tracking, archery, archeology, canoeing, kayaking, nature photography and nature writing. What a great offering to these children.

Just to show you South Carolina schools are second to none in the nation for innovation and exploring for the better education of our generations to come!

Great move SC!

South Carolina Senate OKS $488 million in budget cuts

Its official and Its all up to Mark Sanford.

The bill heads to Gov. Mark Sanford, who indicated he may veto portions of the bill that limit the state's Medicaid program and sets aside money for regional economic development groups. Mark is a man that knows our states needy family's need these programs to survive so Im not looking at much that will sway him there. Mark Sanford has until Oct. 30 to veto portions of the budget with which he disagrees. The Legislature will return on Halloween to vote on his vetoes.

Overall there needs to be a contingency plan for these years that the revenue is less than what expected instead of the fire pattern we have had in the state budgets past.

In the midst of National economic turmoil this is just one more troubling event that spell what I think to be nothing but major troubles ahead. It will force our Nation and our States to look at what we all have been crying for all along. Cut The Fat!
