Charleston County School Board Chair Kate Darby wants to show the rest of South Carolina that Charleston County knows how to waste money big time. "'When you compare our athletic facilities against others in the state, we were at the bottom of the barrel,' Darby said."
That's the take-away from her comments on the outrageous expenditure of over $50 million on two football stadiums.
Think for a moment what else that money could buy.
Why is the Charleston County School Board doing this? Because they can.
"The district decided to upgrade the artificial turf, press boxes and scoreboards at the two regional facilities, which will serve multiple high schools and multiple sports. Chief Operating Officer Jeff Borowy has said the district wanted to keep up with the quality of other stadiums around the state."
Still wondering why North Charleston needs a 6000 seat stadium when most games garner 600 attendees if they're lucky. Sometimes it's 100.
Go figure. Are you sure we're not in Texas?
