Developers need to pay their fair share

You know you're being heard when people start calling you names. Well, the Horry County P.R.I.D.E. taxpayers movement has made it. We are now being called "extremists." We figure this means the taxpayers are getting in someone's way.

We would apologize - except that we meant to get in someone's way. We meant to get in the way of developers who take advantage of Horry County taxpayers. We would apologize except for the fact that they've been doing this for more than 30 years.

We think developers owe taxpayers an apology, and we would think developers might want to rethink their strategies and become a part of the solution.

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH| A budding development here reached a milestone Friday when crews hoisted a 35-ton steel truss into place 123 feet in the air, where it connects two high-rise towers.

The truss is the framework for a bridge that will span three stories and connect the 14th, 15th and 16th floors of the 19-story towers at North Beach Plantation.

By the time the bridge is finished in December, it will house a two-story restaurant beneath a roughly 5,000-square-foot penthouse.
