Cartoon from Mike Beckhom

"I read with much dismay recently, an article about our own Gov. Sanford whacking MILLIONS out of the state budget.....mostly education funds. Seems odd to me that in a state where we are traditionally ranked in the last 2-3 out of 50 states for our education, we would cut funds for said education. I could pontificate for a while about our entire state suffering a slow death and becoming like the decaying 'mill towns' that dot the landscape......but I digress." - Mike Beckhom
