On Technology: Serves on COMET transit system board of directors

Richland County Councilman Kelvin Washington, who faces tax charges stemming from a state investigation into the county's transportation penny tax program, has been removed from the board of directors of the Midlands transit system, the COMET, which receives millions in funding from the penny tax. Councilwoman Joyce Dickerson replaces Washington on the COMET board of directors

The COMET, which operates buses throughout the Midlands, has received more than $33 million in funding through the penny tax program since 2013.

Dickerson has served on the transit board in the past, including as its chairwoman prior to Newman's chairmanship. Dickerson chaired the board in 2011 at the time the bus system disclosed a $3 million deficit. During her board tenure, the system had to work with financial assistance from the city of Columbia and Richland County.

On Principles & Values: For various reasons, I won't campaign for Hillary in 2016

I just don't feel the excitement I used to feel about Hillary. She should have admitted her error over the e-mail scandal; instead she dragged it out before apologizing. At the first hint of a challenge from Senator Sanders, she should have become more visible, voluble and open to interrogation, as he is. Instead she became more distant and controlled. I really have no plans to campaign for Mrs. Clinton. She didn't make calls for me, so I'm not going to make calls for her. Source: The Economist on 2016 South Carolina Senate race Oct 3, 2015
