BRACK: 17 policy questions for South Carolina candidates

Commentary by Andy Brack, editor and publisher | This is the time of the political season that an odd dance begins.

Politicians want to present a compelling image so you’ll cast a vote for them. But they often don’t want to give away too much of what they really think in case it gets them in trouble. So they may hedge, waffle or give so much bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo that the questioner falls asleep.

UPDATE: Where’s Waldo … err, Senn?

Commentary by Andy Brack | The crazy case of where GOP Senate District 41 candidate Sandy Senn actually lives has taken even more quirky turns.

Not only has a state judge issued an injunction postponing a hearing on a challenge to Senn’s residency, but a letter has turned up that seems to make it even more confusing about when she actually moved from a home outside the Senate district to a townhouse inside it.

It’s enough to make you do a triple take.

Gregorie: A city that works for everyone

By William Dudley Gregorie | Our hometown is growing. Yet because of a ground-breaking commitment for historic preservation and a respect for the city’s cultural heritage, Charleston enjoys a reputation as the most authentic Southern city in America.

In time, however, uncontrolled growth could threaten what our city has become. The unique character of Charleston is brilliantly displayed in the city’s remarkable architectural landscape. As we grow, we must not lose sight of the need to control traffic congestion, while being people friendly and environmentally conscious.
