FEEDBACK
9/28: Absence of corrections
officers will hurt too
To the editor:
"Just as the absence of DNR officers (Hot
Issue, 9/28) may have contributed to boating fatalities, so
will the lack of Correctional Officers in the prison system lead
to more violence and possibly fatalities. Your assessment is correct:
presence of officers is a deterrent. The cutbacks in the Department
of Corrections ought to be a cause for concern for all South Carolinians.
-- Francis X. Archibald, Hanahan, S.C.
9/7:
On taxes and voters
To the editor:
I doubt that any tax increases in Alabama will open
the door to the same in South Carolina. The majority party that
controls Columbia is too backward to be led by the likes of Alabama
politicians or voters. Next year is an election year and politicians
(of all stripes) are unlikely to raise taxes when they have to face
the voters. The state's majority party is infected with the fatal
Newt Gingrich malady that would rather let government close down
or fail than be labeled "tax raiser." This is why we have
an uncovered budget deficit from past years that gets covered up
regularly like the pea under three walnut shells in a con game.
And if put to a vote of the people (as in Alabama) well...nice try.
-- Francis X. Archibald, Hanahan, S.C.
9/7:
On taxes and leadership
To the editor:
It doesn't take leadership to raise taxes. But, it
does take leadership to reduce the size of government, offer quality
services, with no tax increases.

County, Lexington, S.C.
