Hollywood SC passes hate-crime resolution (opens the original)
Read excerpt
HOLLYWOOD — Town Council passed a new hate crime ordinance, joining more than two dozen other South Carolina municipalities that have targeted bias-related crimes. Council members voted unanimously for the ordinance during a second reading Sept. 28, garnering a round of “amens” and applause.

TOWNFALL: 8 ways to solve South Carolina’s small-town crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Trouble and hope. Many South Carolina towns are at a crossroads between the two. You see it in Elloree and Andrews, where beautiful old buildings stand vacant on once-thriving main streets. But you also see people starting new businesses and residents demanding accountability from their elected leaders.

Brick storefronts once housed a five-and-dime and three hardware stores. But many of these buildings are vacant now, and one is missing its roof. A small park offers free Wi-Fi, but the picnic tables are empty and weeds grow through cracks in the asphalt. Yet amid the decay, you also see signs of care: In the median, vibrant red-white-and-blue de
TOWNFALL: Many South Carolina towns are broken — plagued by infighting, corruption and mismanagement. Here’s how to fix them. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A growing number of South Carolina towns and cities have become dens of corruption or incompetence as experienced administrators quit and public officials botch the books or flat-out steal from the people they’re supposed to serve. From Elloree to Bonneau to Cottageville, many towns are in “accountability deserts” where news coverage evaporated and other watchdogs failed in their oversight roles, a new Post and Courier Uncovered investigation found.
