March 3

County Council rejected a settlement bid from former Administrator Joey Preston in a day which saw 10th Circuit Solicitor Chrissy Adams say it’s up to the South Carolina Attorney General’s office to pursue any further inquiry. Meanwhile reports that Anderson County Sheriff John Skipper has requested a grand jury look into the situation means that it looks like it is now up to Fifth Circuit Judge G. Thomas Cooper to decide what happens next. That decision could come as early as this week.

The snow was heavy and wet, but warm ground temperatures and even the sun peeking through some of the clouds took the light dusting Anderson received before lunch out of the picture just as schools were being dismissed early due to the snowfall. Some Andersonians recall March has brought many heavy snowfalls to the area including one in the early 1970s which brought more than a foot to the region. 

If you haven’t been to the Anderson County Museum lately, Spring is a good time to visit. Lots of activities scheduled, beginning Saturday. Details at www.andersoncountymuseum.org
