Always interesting how we give too much credit to the loud few— not just in sports. The loud ones do not speak for the masses who are not on social media or share these opinions.

📍South Carolina went 8-4 this season. 📍Shane Beamer beat 3 ranked teams. 📍Snapped Clemson's 40-game home streak. 📍Finished inside the top 20. 📍Made a notable bowl game. 📍Lone assistant everyone wanted out is gone. And still, doom and gloom prevails. I don't get it.

How many South Carolinians & their children have participated in University Greek life somewhere?Thinking this campaign ad is a good idea is a symptom of our out of touch State leadership pushing radical policies & denying forward moving laws like medical MJ & others from So Car.

It’s a function of Govt to provide the infrastructure for private development to occur & this is done everywhere. Let’s stop holding our City back & reach for our full potential by finally utilizing our riverfront. Helped get 9 mill of State money for this game changing project.

Plans for a crown jewel riverfront park in Columbia have been on the drawing board for 15 years. Residents might now have to wait longer. thestate.com/news/local/art

I’ve known Neal Collins since law school and his character is of the highest quality. There’s a lot of politicians that use the slogan “people over politics” but actually does it— he puts people first.

Wish we were spending this time on reducing gun violence, making our roadways safer, improving our public education (& many other things) to not only save but also improve the quality of life in SC. Below is a small clip of my comments at yesterdays Judiciary meeting.

Republicans call their abortion ban a “life-saving” act. But in reality, it’s going to lead to death.

Elected officials are drawing their district lines. Federal guidelines on redistricting are so broad all elected officials (at all levels on both sides) end up picking their voters instead of voters picking their elected officials. A major flaw leading to extreme politics.

Land of the free? Elected republicans are rolling back women’s rights, stopping meaningful gun safety legislation & literally has a segment of it’s party wanting to invalidate free elections they lose. Very scary times in America to say the least.

14 French Open Titles by is one of the most incredible accomplishments in the history of sport. If you’re a young kid dreaming of beating this record you need to win the French Open for a decade and a half.

Great to see this stop light/Pedestrian crossing being installed today on Devine St by Backstreets Grill. Happy to have worked with Councilman Brennan on getting this much need safety measure. Goes nicely with the traffic light we got installed by Cantina & Henry’s years ago.

Fun fact— my father in law is a nuclear engineer and one of the smartest people I know. He is the person that figured out what was wrong during the crisis on 3 mile island & told them what to do. Talking with him about it today after watching the Netflix film on it was awesome.

I have no words. Officer Barr was a great guy and has become a friend. I’m shocked and profoundly saddened by this. Prayers to the Barr family and Cayce Police Department.

I sponsored a bill last yr to have unlawful carrying of a handgun penalties enhance for a 2nd & 3rd offense like most other SC crimes. It was supported by law enforcement. At first the said they would support if “no guns were destroyed” then the NRA still opposed & bill died
Quote Tweet
Unlawful carrying of a handgun is a MISDEMEANOR in SC (b/c SC loves its guns) and only carries "not more than 1 year" in jail. The chief should go talk to the legislature if he wants longer prison sentences, but watch out for the NRA lobbyists. twitter.com/ColumbiaPDSC/s…

Came across this picture—didn’t know at the time how much it would mean to me years later. 3 legendary Columbia Neighborhood Presidents—Marvin Heller, Durham Carter & Mrs. Doris Hildebrand (who always called me her son). I’m sure they are in Heaven leading in some way.Miss them.

We honored Marvin Heller today—- a great man who worked for decades to make his neighborhood & community a better place for all. We miss our friend but won’t forget him.

To clarify— the 35 million in one time money has been requested & is available if allocated by the House. We have some great people & staff on Ways & Means & they know the significance of this project for our States Capital City!

Currently there is a 35 million in this years House budget to fix the chronic train issues on Assembly Street. Trains blocking a major thoroughfare in our capital city during rush hour is not acceptable. ⁦
