COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Friday two protests happened at the State House where demonstrators showed their support for reopening South Carolina’s economy.
At noon, a group called Drive to Thrive asked the community to join in on a mobile protest against the ongoing closures of some non-essential businesses in our state. Their goal was to fill the streets of Columbia with at least 50,000 vehicles.
Demonstrators were encouraged to stay inside their cars, and show an audible display of solidarity by honking their car horns for a full 60 seconds at 12:30 p.m.
They’re also asking participants to support local restaurants and order a meal, to-go, on the way home.
**SNIP**
Friday’s protests come one day after the state’s first Accelerate SC Task Force meeting.
This task force is made up of leaders from various industries across the state, and serves as an advisory team as state leaders work to reopen South Carolina’s economy.
During Friday’s meeting, Gov. Henry McMaster said, “Everyone wants to get back to work, but nobody wants to have anybody else get sick. We have to be very careful and so that’s what we’re going to attempt to do – step by step, probably be little steps, not rush into. We’re not going to move until we have good reason to move based on the science, the data and all the information.”

I didn’t know Vicki was still on the air.
At one time, I caught some of her stream show. I liked what I heard.
Several years ago, I went to the Oshkosh airshow for the first time. One evening in the old U Wis. dorm I was staying in, I wrote her a short message.
Vicki sent a kind reply.
Hey they’ve got nothing else to do, BECAUSE THEY CAN’T GO TO WORK! Want ‘em to stop protesting? Then let them go back to work!
F’IDIOTS
Maybe during some of the work from home, I will try to remember to catch Vicki.
Yes, that's a realistic goal...
Then everyone has to do it again. He’s slow.
Excellent signs.
Yes, and I'll be there for the next one!
He actually hasn't been a terrible governor. He lost me, however, when he shut everything down except the golf club where he plays golf.
He has allowed the golf courses to remain open, but he closed the tennis courts! Wish he’d been a tennis player instead of a golfer.
I am getting sick of this, and therefore am sick of him. He is about as useless as Lindsey Grahmnesty!
It would be great if we could do this in Alaska; however our capital is on an island only accessible by boat or plane. The people that live in Juneau are by and large big government types that live off the dime. They would never change the gravy train. Politicians up here love it because they don’t have to face the people.
