In the Sept. 12, letters section of your paper, Jim Waldrep and Mickey Montgomery complained America isn’t the grand moral utopia of yesteryear and today’s politicians cannot be depended upon to deliver for the common good. Meanwhile on page 6A, an article appeared that demonstrates even more vividly both men’s points: “South Carolina official threatens to sue over nuclear fuel project.” It seems business interests in South Carolina and Georgia want the Mixed Oxide fuel project to be continued and are willing to sue your government to force taxpayers to continue the farce, although it is 15 years behind schedule and 750 percent over budget.
Voters, be wary when politicians join forces with business interests
