The Horry County Council in all its wisdom has chosen to disenfranchise the good people of Loris by not having any of the public meetings of the RIDE III road project held there.

Several roads are being paved, I need to enquire if Lawson Road is to be paved, eight years after Councilman Jody Prince promised it would be. If no meeting, I will proclaim this project “Taxation Without Representation.”

Vincent Lehotsky, Loris
