Paris Mountain Rezoning Strategy Meeting
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
This past week, I joined residents from the Paris Mountain Country Club community for a well-attended Rezoning Strategy Meeting at Reedy River Baptist Church. The turnout was great, neighbors packed the fellowship hall to engage in a productive conversation about growth, development pressures, and ways to preserve the unique character of the Paris Mountain area. Outside of community that showed up, we also had a great official turnout, including former councilman Joe Dill, State Representative Mike Burns, and Planning Commissioners Deborah Manning and Ken Matesevac.
Contact Your Senators NOW: Support Prohibition on Production of Delta-8

The cannabis industry has been a scourge on communities across the nation. Even when states have tight restrictions, the industry has created loopholes that allow it to continue reaping huge profits. One such loophole involves harvesting hemp. We are all familiar with clothing and jewelry made from hemp. Clearly, these products are not made from the intoxicating form of the plant. However, the plant itself does contain high levels of THC which can be made into a synthetic drug called Delta-8.Eagle Forum supports legislation to close the loophole to end intoxicating hemp farming. Last night, the Senate voted on an appropriations package that includes critical language finally banning the sale of hemp-derived THC products like Delta-8. However, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is trying to force a vote on his amendment to strike the Delta-8 language from the bill. That vote is almost certain to come today.
Understanding Your Property Tax Bill

Why Some Residents May See Higher Increases, and How Council is Working to Protect Taxpayers
Property tax bills are officially going out, and many residents are beginning to notice differences in the amount they owe compared to last year. On average, property taxes across Greenville County are increasing between 4% and 12%, depending on where each property is located.
It’s important to note that Greenville County Council did not increase county property taxes in the last budget and I believe that will continue to trend this year. In fact, during last year’s budget, Council voted to lower the County’s property tax rate by 1.5 mills, a reduction that will amount to more than $4 million in tax relief for residents. That decision came directly from a clear message we heard from citizens: these times are tough enough without an increased tax burden.
States Go Head-to-Head to Redraw House Seats before Next Year's Competitive Midterms

If there’s a breakthrough on the horizon of the government shutdown, you wouldn’t know it from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s (D-N.Y.) whereabouts. The Democratic leader left D.C. — and its partisan messaging wars — for a Monday jaunt in Illinois, where he hoped to make a dent in another nationwide clash: redistricting. The jaunt, which underscored the urgency both parties feel to redraw their congressional maps, is the latest push in a see-saw battle to shake up the House’s slim majority.

Local churches bring ‘Heat & Hope’ as Ukrainians shiver into fourth winter of war

LOVES PARK, Ill. — Ukraine faces a winter of “frozen peril” — a looming humanitarian emergency marked by power blackouts and bone-chilling temperatures as people struggle to stay warm.
For the fourth consecutive year, winter itself is being “weaponized” to cause suffering on a massive scale, with drone attacks crippling power plants and gas facilities, leaving millions without electricity or heat.
“You can imagine what that means for families already displaced and hungry,” said Eric Mock, vice president of ministry operations for Slavic Gospel Association (SGA). “No light, no heat, no way to cook food or keep warm.”
