Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Is it the new leadership of the P & C's editorial page that has made the difference? [See Charleston School Board: Lecque, Kandrac, Engelman, Fraser, Stewart.]SHOCK:Saturday's P & C endorsed CCSD school board candidates Lecque, Kandrac, Engelman, Fraser, and Stewart. If you think that's business as usual, you're wrong.
First of all, the editors snubbed Toya Hampton-Green, an incumbent and favorite of Mayor Riley. Second, they also ignored Ann Oplinger, a former CCSD principal. Those two facts taken together signal a sea change.
AWE: When you add to that the endorsements of three candidates--Engelman, Kandrac, and Stewart--the least likely to slavishly follow the machinations of Gregg Meyers--well, what further can be said?
Granted, the endorsement of Fraser is no aberration. He's simply the designated Chamber-of-Commerce guy replacing the old Chamber-of-Commerce guy, Brian Moody. And it would have been bizarre had the P & C endorsed John Altman, one of its most unfavorite pols.
Gee, I'm in the position of actually hoping all those folks in Mt. Pleasant follow the P & C's lead, for a change. Is the temperature dropping in hell?

It was a breath of fresh air to read the paper this morning.
Did you see the New York Times yesterday?
The Times reporter did a great job for the most part on the Sanders Clyde story. I do think that some mention should have been made of the district office's role. Janet Rose presented herself as a hero.
To many Buist parents, Janet Rose IS a hero.
Let's place bets on how long it takes a Buist parent to respond to that one.
You can hear a pin drop when Buist isn't the topic, can't you?
You guys should have stayed focused on the article at hand about the candidates endorsed by the paper. Going right into the Buist issue on this wasn't necassary. Stay focused on the major win for these candiadates endorsement
