Sad thing is this has been going on for ages and it's only today's technology allowing us to be aware of so much so quickly that has most thinking the world is crazier now than before.

The long recession is cutting more money from state revenues and expected to force spending cuts of nearly $120 million from South Carolina schools, colleges and prisons.

Maybe if the entire state of South Carolina holds bike weeks constantly, since the bikers are the only people not hurt by the global recession and have money to throw around, South Carolina wouldn't have to cut the budget!

More evidence that the current administration is trashing MB. This place used to be so packed out that the lines would be there all evening. My schedule had me passing it several times a week for a couple of years, and it was always packed out. Thanks again Rhodes.

Mr. Rhodes is running some questionable ads on tv??? If the news or someone would really do their homework on those ads maybe the truth would come out. What McBride was talking about in those ads were in reference to that company years ago who wanted to build on the old Air Base... anyway.. I have a question for all of you.... If things are so ... Read Morewonderful here in MB with our "fearful" leader then why are there soooo many hotels CLOSED for the season? I have lived here for 16 years and it has been a loooong time since this has happened.... I drove through town today and it is plum scary at how many hotels are closed for the season. It is like a ghost town.... Sad thing I however do not 'live" in MB proper, I do however have a MB address.

A proposed smoking ban in the City of Florence failed a city council vote Monday.

I agree withyou Agnese. If you own it you should be able to have or not have smoking. I think just have a great vent for the smoke to go out. But we should be able to make our own choices whether to work in a place where there is smoking or whether to go into the place for drinks or dinner. It should be an adult decision. But the government these days wants to rule us.......Can't let that happen people....

What about people with allergies to smoke? Or older people with emphysema or lung diseases that cannot be around smoke? I think that making the "smokers" happy is pointless when there are more people who don't smoke.

WPDE NewsChannel 15 Poor turnout in "crucial" MB election

A tourism town faced an election consumed by tourism issues. So one would think with so many people in the tourism industry in Myrtle Beach, they would surely make time to vote on Election Day.

Connie, this is a very good point. I don't live in MB and I don't think I would want to have to pay that kind of tax when I don't even live there! After all, the canidates stated, during the debate, that many adult night clubs that seemed to be inside the city limits were, indeed, not. They were in some kind of "doughnut hole," therefore, there ... Read Morewas nothing that could be done about their presence. Seems like you should be in some sort of "doughnut hole." I guess it's different because they are collecting taxes!
