SC Public Radio News - Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows was reportedly registered to vote simultaneously in three states, including South Carolina. State officials said Friday that the former congressman and his wife registered to vote in South Carolina earlier this year. North Carolina officials removed Meadows from their lists this month after learning he'd voted in Virginia last year. The South Carolina registration was first reported by The Washington Post, which said Meadows' Virginia registration is still active. - The coroner in New Orleans says alcohol and fentanyl killed a student from South Carolina who was left at a hospital after watching parades and partying before Mardi Gras. A statement for Ciaya Whetstone's family says they are distraught that she "may have been the victim of a spiked substance." The family's lawyers say they want information from police and Uber. The coroner says the 21-year-old student died about 7 a.m. on Feb. 19 at a hospital in eastern New Orleans. Her roommate told The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate in February that after returning home via Uber, Whetstone said she was leaving with the driver to look for her car. - A stinky but handsome and widely popular landscape tree has become an aggressive invader. Callery pears create dense thickets that overwhelm native plants and bear four-inch spikes that can flatten tractor tires. Bradford pears and other ornamental Callery pears were cultivated from an import that saved pear orchards from a deadly fungus. And for decades, the decorative trees seemed near perfect, aside from a tendency to fall apart after about 15 years — and their stench. But they cross pollinated with other ornamental varieties. Invasive stands now have been reported in more than 30 states. Fourteen states have formally listed the trees as invasive. - With just nine legislative days remaining in this year’s session of the state legislature, lawmakers are focused on enacting a handful of priority bills ahead of next month’s adjournment. Open Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes The Open Space Institute’s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

SC Public Radio News - President Joe Biden had zeroed in on a pair of finalists for his first Supreme Court pick when there were rumors last year that Justice Stephen Breyer would retire. But since the upcoming retirement was announced late last month, it has come with the rise of a third candidate, one with ready-made bipartisan support that has complicated the decision. - Civil rights groups are accusing South Carolina Republicans of unconstitutionally creating "racially gerrymandered" U.S. House maps to disadvantage Black voters. An amended complaint was filed Thursday in a lawsuit by the South Carolina chapter of the NAACP. The lawsuit says the maps would keep South Carolina's 6th District as a majority-Black district, while "working adeptly to deny the ability of Black voters to elect or even influence elections in any of the other six congressional districts." Redistricting cases are considered by three-judge panels. For this case, that includes Michelle Childs, who is being considered for a U.S. Supreme Court vacancy. Attorneys for leading Republican lawmakers have defended the maps' constitutionality. - Former Vice President Mike Pence is making yet another visit to the early-voting state of South Carolina, where Republican candidates often aim to drum up support among white evangelical voters. Columbia International University announced Friday that Pence would give the school's commencement address in April. The commencement comes just a week before Pence returns to the state to speak at a fundraiser for a pregnancy center. Pence chose the early-voting state last year for his first public address since the end of the Trump administration. - Bill now moves to the House.

SC Public Radio News - President Joe Biden had zeroed in on a pair of finalists for his first Supreme Court pick when there were rumors last year that Justice Stephen Breyer would retire. But since the upcoming retirement was announced late last month, it has come with the rise of a third candidate, one with ready-made bipartisan support that has complicated the decision. - Civil rights groups are accusing South Carolina Republicans of unconstitutionally creating "racially gerrymandered" U.S. House maps to disadvantage Black voters. An amended complaint was filed Thursday in a lawsuit by the South Carolina chapter of the NAACP. The lawsuit says the maps would keep South Carolina's 6th District as a majority-Black district, while "working adeptly to deny the ability of Black voters to elect or even influence elections in any of the other six congressional districts." Redistricting cases are considered by three-judge panels. For this case, that includes Michelle Childs, who is being considered for a U.S. Supreme Court vacancy. Attorneys for leading Republican lawmakers have defended the maps' constitutionality. - Former Vice President Mike Pence is making yet another visit to the early-voting state of South Carolina, where Republican candidates often aim to drum up support among white evangelical voters. Columbia International University announced Friday that Pence would give the school's commencement address in April. The commencement comes just a week before Pence returns to the state to speak at a fundraiser for a pregnancy center. Pence chose the early-voting state last year for his first public address since the end of the Trump administration. - Bill now moves to the House. Open Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes The Open Space Institute’s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities. Over the past 40 years, the institute has saved 2,285,092 acres of land through direct acquisition, grants, and loans. Having begun by focusing on land in New York State, they have in recent years saved significant, complex, and large-scale tracts in South Carolina, Florida, and New Jersey through direct acquisitions. In December 2022, the Open Space Institute (OSI) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) announced the purchase of three properties along the Santee River in South Carolina, expanding the largest contiguous block of protected coastal lands in the state. OSI’s Vice-President and Director of the Southeast, Maria Whitehead, joins Walter Edgar to talk about the acquisition and about the Institute’s plans for land protection in the state.
