Posted by Margaret Evans | Dec 19, 2017 | Rants & Raves | 0

By Margaret Evans, EditorBack in May, I put together a “graduation address” of sorts, using random posts from my Facebook timeline, where no opinion is too trivial to go unexpressed. It was so much fun (i.e. so easy), I decided to stitch together a “year in review” using the same method.

Part Two of the reform to South Carolina’s public-employee pension system is turning out to be a classic case of concentrated benefits and dispersed costs, a phenomenon which favors recipients of government payments at the expense of the average taxpayer. There’s a way we might mitigate some of the harm that’s already been done; but first, let’s review where we are now and how we got there.

Jazz saxophonist Thom Chambers will headline the second Notes: An Evening of Musical Storytelling & Casual Conversation to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Beaufort County. The first Notes event in 2016 set a very high bar - showcasing Frank Almond and his Lipinski Stradivarius - and the organizers are delighted to follow that success with a musical guest of equal caliber who might just be Beaufort’s best-kept secret.
