My suggestion for changing the name of the Washington Redskins is to make it the Washington Warriors.
Mr. Flora and Fauna journalism brought the common and uncommon plants and animals of the Lowcountry to readers’ doorsteps in words that helped them cherish them.
Bo Petersen, one of my favorite people and a prolific environmental reporter, retired from @postandcourier today. With the pandemic, there were few here to congratulate him on his career. If you know this fine fellow, help me with a sendoff. #chsnews
Sanity prevails!
After a new ruling from @henrymcmaster, S.C. restaurants can now offer alcohol for curbside pickup.

Nice job Joseph in exposing high flying on the public dime!
A Charleston judge crisscrossed the nation for trips to beach & mountain resorts and flew first class, all on the public's dime. After @postandcourier questioned the expenses, the county revoked the judge's spending card and launched an investigation. postandcourier.com/news/char…
Yea for now!
One step at a time. The Oregon Senate voted 29-0 today to change state law to make the public records advocate and the council independent. (SB 1506 for those eager to read.) A strong vote for govt transparency. Next up: House hearings, vote. #FOIA #Openrecords
Still, it would be interesting to know how much pollutant is left in the water after they install the temporary filters.
Look how long it took the state to do even this. It’s shocking how little the state of SC cares about its poorest residents, from health care to education.
The P&C should test to see if the carbon filters actually work on those chemicals.
Update to the story yesterday.
SC health officials are now passing out carbon filters to roughly 100 homes at the Crescent Mobile Home Park to temporarily treat for industrial chemicals that were found in the communities drinking water wells.

One of the reasons I love investigative reporting instead of this sort - As an investigative reporter you usually are on your own looking into something unseen or overlooked by other journalists as they chase the news of the day, which must, of course, be covered.
Great job Andrew!
The SC Department of Health and Environmental Control has confirmed the drinking water for a trailer park near Shaw Air Force Base is contaminated with PFAS chemcials. postandcourier.com/news/sc-h…
This confirms @postandcourier's test results from last month. postandcourier.com/business/…
Vote Les!
The check was for $5 with a note: "Thank you for keeping us informed." Another note with a donation for @MalheurNews public records fund: "Please run for office, Les." Um, gee, no thanks..... In a rural poor county, the fund now tops $3K. #FOIA #Publicrecords #Readerengagement

It’s Charleston.
I was just told I was "doing God's work." Wow, who knew making lists of what bars are open would be so inspirational?
