SC Policy Council has a Blog

I have posted this because the SC Policy Council is doing an excellent service for the citizens of South Carolina and their observations also have applicability at the National level.

About this Blog

Dick Smith moved to Aiken from Hilton Head in 1999 and within only a few years became concerned about the fast rate of growth that was threatening the small town charm and quality of life in Aiken. Marianne Pecoraro moved to Aiken from San Francisco in 2000, and likewise soon became concerned that Aiken was changing rapidly and without adequate planning. In 2001 Dick decided he could make his best contibution to our communiity by serving on the Aiken City Council. Dick won his seat in November 2001, with Marianne as his campaign manager. In 2005, Dick was elected to his second term which expired in November 2009. Dick opted not to run for a third term because he believes in term limits. Reggie Ebner ran for the District 4 seat in 2009 and was elected with 84% of the vote. Soon after he was elected to City Council in 2001, Dick created the Aiken Journal email newsletter to stay in touch with his constituents. Marianne frequently collaborated in its writing. The success of the newsletter-and the email list-grew to the point where they wanted to reach out to more of Aiken's concerned citizens and to cover issues of importance throughout Aiken County as well as the City of Aiken. So, they built a weblog version of the Aiken Journal. With his election to District 3 of Aiken City Council in 2007 Dick Dewar joined the Aiken Journal as an editor.
