Hodges, a Democrat who is up for re-election in the fall,...

Very interesting! He's a dem - which means he should WELCOME anything the feds offer. Yet, the current atmosphere is such that it's "cool" to stand up agin the "fedral gubment." Naaaaaaah! He'd NEVER use it as a campaign issue! /off sarcasm

I could go on for a WHILE about how he won the last election. He's desparate to keep the office - and it shows. Carolinians love nothing MORE than someone who stands up to the feds! Sheesh! What a circus!

Isn't that the truth. Hodges seems to be doing a bit of reaching lately. He's caved on basically everything else on the conservative side in SC, this is one of those middle of the road things. He can tell the libs he wants to protect the enviroment, while he tells the conservatives he's standing up against the general government. Either way, he could win a vote or two. I'm just waiting to see if it gets to the point that troopers would stand up to the feds.

States' Rights bump!! And in SC of all places. Well imagine that. LOL
