Cromartie network remains a force
12 Mar 2010 at 9:51am
How do you replace a 27-year Columbia city councilman in 27 days?That's the question facing the candidates vying to replace veteran Councilman E.W. Cromartie, whose resignation Tuesday prompted City Council to schedule an impromptu election for April 6.The answer could be to piggyback on Cromartie's legendary political network - an informal citizens advisory committee that has swelled from 20 people in 1983 to more than 200 today."If I was running in that district, and the infrastructure is already in place, you'd be crazy not to go after that committee," said Councilwoman Tameika Isaac Devine, who as an at-large councilwoman has reached out to the committee herself.But reaching the committee isn't easy. Even calling it a "committee" would be generous, said Elizabeth Marks, who has been a member for 22 years but can't tell you how she joined it.

12 Mar 2010 at 9:18am
It's more than pocket change missing in one South Carolina county - it could be as much as $300,000 - and authorities are trying to find out where the money went.The Beaufort Gazette reported accountants hired by the county administrator and the county's top prosecutor began working this week on an audit.The money is missing from the county treasurer's office from a delinquent tax sale last year. Sheriff P.J. Tanner says estimates of the missing money range from $4,000 to $300,000.A former treasurer's office employee has been charged with breach of trust with fraudulent intent in the theft of $600 from the office several years ago.

Fed. appeals court upholds 'under God' in pledge
12 Mar 2010 at 9:15am
An appellate court has upheld references to God on U.S. currency and in the Pledge of Allegiance, rejecting arguments they violate the constitutional separation of church and state."The Pledge of Allegiance serves to unite our vast nation through the proud recitation of some of the ideals upon which our Republic was founded," Judge Carlos Bea wrote for the majority in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals 2-1 ruling Thursday.Bea noted that schools do not require students to recite the pledge, which was amended to include the words "under God" by a 1954 federal law. Members of Congress at the time said they wanted to set the United States apart from "godless communists."In a separate 3-0 ruling, the appeals court upheld the inscription of the national motto "In God We Trust" on U.S. coins and currency, citing an earlier 9th Circuit panel that ruled the phrase is ceremonial and patriotic and "has nothing whatsover to do with the establishment of religion."The same appeals court caused a national uproar and prompted accusations of judicial activism when it decided in Sacramento athiest Michael Newdow's favor in 2002, ruling that the Pledge of Allegiance violated the First Amendment prohibition against government endorsement of religion.

Harlem reformer sells out Charlotte audience
12 Mar 2010 at 9:10am
Geoffrey Canada, founder of the Harlem Children's Zone, Thursday told hundreds of Charlotte leaders that children are experiencing the educational equivalent of Hurricane Katrina, standing on rooftops desperate for help."Nobody's coming," he said. "Nobody's going to save our children. You have to save your own children."Canada spoke at the annual meeting of the Foundation for the Carolinas, which drew a sellout crowd of 1,500. His quest to break the cycle of poverty and academic failure in one of New York City's poorest neighborhoods has sparked national and local attention.Canada had the crowd laughing at tales of his appearances on "60 Minutes" and "The Oprah Winfrey Show." But he said he goes on such shows to sound a dire warning: "I've become convinced that if our country continues down this path, there's no way we are going to remain a leading power."While China is working to "bury us" by producing highly educated workers, the United States is building jails to accommodate huge numbers of low-income African-American children who are in the "cradle-to-prison pipeline," he said. He contrasted the $39,000 a year it costs to incarcerate adults, with no benefit to society, with the $5,000 a year he spends on each child hoping to break the cycle.
