P & C Favors Higher Taxes over News

The Post and Courier wants you to vote "yes" on raising sales taxes in Charleston County. In fact, the news, not just the editorial page, has weighed heavily in that direction for the last week.

• Item: Editorial explaining why readers should vote for the new sales tax.
• Item: Prominently displayed Letter to the Editor by Joe Riley, Jr., praising the new sales tax.
• Item: P&C reports that the NAACP is challenging cut-backs in CARTA service but withholds bigger news that the NAACP rejects the new sales tax.

Think that CCSD doesn't have the P&C in its back pocket? Think again.
