Statehouse Report editor and publisher Andy Brack has a new book of selected columns since 2014 that delve into how South Carolina can do better to help people through politics and the governing process.
“After almost 900 weekly columns totaling more than 600,000 words over the last 17 years, I’m like the Farmers Insurance guy – I’ve seen a thing or two in South Carolina,” Brack writes in the introduction. “And I’ve learned a thing or two about how politics, policy and governance works – and doesn’t – in the Palmetto State.
“Now as we head toward the 2020 elections, maybe it’s time to share some of the bigger lessons.”
We Can Do Better, South Carolina! offers incisive commentaries on the American South, the common good and interesting South Carolina leaders, such as former U.S. Sen. Fritz Hollings, civil rights advocate Septima Clark, former S.C. Gov. David Beasley and more.
There also are discussions on civil rights struggles with which the Palmetto State continues to grapple. as well as commentaries on politics, governments, the hangovers of South Carolina’s past and her future opportunities.
The 227-page book ends with a discussion of Palmetto Priorities — columns related to Statehouse Report’s continuing push for state lawmakers to adopt a broad agenda for reform throughout government. Included are discussions on education, tax reform, environmental justice and more.
We Can Do Better, South Carolina! is available as an e-book for $7.99. You can get a paperback version for $14.99.

After 3 years the President has not yet successfully set up the leadership needed to govern well; those appointments he has made keep changing. This is one reason Democrats are supporting Joe Biden. Without doubt, he knows what is required to set the ship of state in motion during the two months after the election so that when he is sworn in in January he will be ready to act legally and decisively and democratically. Chris Christie tried to do this for the President but he was fired.
