Check it out: Conservation Voters of South Carolina has launched a new website devoted to the upcoming governor's election over at SCGreenGov.com. Complete with candidate profiles and issue scorecards, the site will let voters learn more about the candidates and their positions on green issues.
From SCGreenGov.com:
All the candidates want to appear green because it’s popular. But many are tempted by another kind of green. Polluters, big developers and other powerful interests have deep pockets and little regard for the environment. It’s easy to talk the green talk, without walking the green walk.
This site allows you to tell your friends and the candidates what’s important to you. Our next governor will make critical decisions about protecting our air and water, planning for future growth, and creating a clean energy plan. Will we invest in offshore drilling or wind farms? Will we take more garbage from northern states or protect working farms and forests? The choice is ours.

Thank you Phil Noble [3/4/10] for the insightful article in The State entitled "A modest proposal for balancing state budget". I would like to add that the Republicans, apparently, who control our State Government, have created an insightful way of cutting back the trees over our state owned roads. They apparently have completed the contract with the 18-wheelers association that requires the trucks to travel on our none-interstate roads to trim back the trees that have over grown the roads.
They have completely withdrawn a large amount of funds for the maintenance program because it takes no less than 6-months to get them to respond to a citizen’s request to stop the erosion in his yard that is caused by a break in the water drain line that runs through his property. The owner of this property says he has written to the State, and National governments to get some relief. Nothing has happened in the last year!
Apparently the State Government has started a business that aligns cars and replaces the front infrastructure of vehicles. With the number of pot-holes in the roads I travel, it just does not make any sense that South Carolinians have to put up with this regressive situation of our road ways. All of the money that is now spent on Tourism and any other office/secretary/directorships should have their budgets cut to zero and the savings be put on roads being repaired, resurfaced, and/or drained. When government fails to maintain roads, it is time to say TIME-OUT. We need some people who care about us.
