Where’s help from other nations after Sandy?

By Dennis Thomas

    ORDER REPRINT →

November 05, 2012 05:00 PM

With the destruction from Sandy on the East Coast and the millions if not billions of dollars to cleanup, watch and see if any other countries donate money to help us out.

We send millions of dollars to at least 80 countries to help out and that is not including the food we send. They say we are the richest country in the world. How can that be when we are $16 trillion in debt? With this cleanup your insurance will be going up big time. But if we had help from these other countries your insurance may not go up and it will help out the states to recover.

It is up to you the people, what is it going to be?

The writer lives in Conway.

South Carolina’s disturbing schools law that lets police arrest students who talk back to teachers or otherwise ‘act in an obnoxious manner’ could be repealed. A House committee votes Tuesday on a bill to limit the law to adults.
