I just walked over to Butch Bowers’ law office next to the Statehouse and knocked on the locked door.

He came out into the hallway, saw me through the window, turned around and walked back inside.
postandcourier.com/columbia/colum… Here’s a photo of Bowers’ office. You may recognize the name of the other attorney who used to work in the same building with him before taking on a different job. #scpol

THREAD: Today, S.C. utility regulators cut power rates 17 months after a massive nuclear project was nixed. It's way less than many hoped, but still billions of dollars in future savings for the public.

It may not have happened without the work of unrelenting local reporters. 2) Those reporters are too humble to take credit for what they did, so I'll give it to them in the form of a few highlights.
