Conway Belangia Answers Questions for Taxpayers
Conway Belangia, Director of Elections for Greenville County for the past 19 years, was a guest speaker at the July meeting of the Greenville County Taxpayers’ Association.
Belangia sees his primary mission to be insuring elections are fair. The hottest current topic is the new state law that requires voters to present a photo ID in addition to a registration card prior to being allowed to cast a ballot.
Republicans believe the requirement is necessary to ensure only people eligible to vote in a particular precinct are who they say they are. Democrats claim the law discriminates against the elderly and others who do not have a drivers license or a photo ID card issued by the Highway Department.

Greenville Tea Party and Ron Paul Reps Met Bachmann’s Bus at Clinton

Rep. Doug Brannon Substituted for Rep. Rita Allison Invited by RINO Hunt
State Representative Doug Brannon, who represents House District 38 in Northern Spartanburg County, is an attorney, however, he found himself a defendant before a roomful of RINO Hunt members acting like prosecutors at Denny’s in Greenville, Friday night.
Brannon is one of the “Spar-tanburg-Six,” a group of Spartanburg County Republican House members who joined with Democrats and voted to table and kill the school choice bill supported by the SC GOP Platform. The six Republican House members provided an ideal “textbook” example of what is wrong with the Republican Party and must be corrected if the party is to regain credibility with voters. In this instance, six Republicans from one county were able to destroy several years of work by South Carolina Republicans and provide a key victory for Obama Democrats with one vote.

- By Nathan Earle
At a time when other states are looking for ways to expand existing school choice programs, members of the South Carolina House voted last week to ensure that state-run schools will continue to operate free from the threat of meaningful competition. On the motion of Spartanburg Republican Doug Brannon, the House voted to table the Educational Opportunity Act (H. 3407) by a paper-thin margin of 60 votes to 59. The vote effectively killed the proposal and guaranteed that children in this state will remain shackled to the government school system for the foreseeable future.
