Gov. McMaster has issued 11 budget vetoes. They don't (as the gov already previewed to reporters) include the in-district pay raise and the cut of state local aid for local gov't that passes conversion therapy bans. https://t.co/0SUxZwsdAH https://t.co/5qJfOD4wZf

Some possible milestones: If Scott wins, you have the youngest state representative elected since Brandon Newton, who was elected at the age of 22. If Oden wins, you will have the second Black Republican in the House, joining Harriet Holman -- the first Black female Republican.

Huge bummer. Classic century old brick mercantile structure. Can not be recreated. I wish saving the structure and incorporating it into a new building was a priority. This block has tons of potential if the parking lots fronting the street were filled in with retail units.
