South Carolina's leading online legislative and policy forecast
Friday, May 3, 2024
Here’s a new cartoon by Robert Ariail that first was published in our sister newspaper, the Charleston City Paper. It highlights a battle on Sullivan’s Island, where a town election will be held May 5. A big focus of the election is a plan passed narrowly by council to cut down part of a maritime forest. Tuesday’s vote essentially is a referendum on that plan. Love the cartoon? Hate it? What do you think: feedback@statehousereport.com.

I think your cartoon is slightly misinformed. There will be no cutting down of the forest. That’s a rumor cultivated by a small vocal group who do not want to manage the forest. Conservation requires management. The accreted land lawsuit was settled via a compromise after ten years of public back and forth.
