A Billion-Dollar Question: The Penny Is Retiring, but the Penny Tax Proposal Hasn't?
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher
After voters rejected proposals in 2002, 2014 and 2024, a new $1.1 billion referendum brings familiar questions about road funding, taxpayer costs and government accountability back to the ballot.
A penny is hardly worth bending over to pick up these days. In fact, the United States Mint stopped producing pennies for general circulation in November 2025, ending a 232-year tradition because making one costs more than its face value. Yet while the federal government has decided that producing another penny is no longer worth the expense, Greenville County voters are being asked whether collecting another penny in sales tax is worth the investment. Multiply that penny by millions of taxable purchases over eight years, and suddenly Greenville County is discussing something considerably larger than loose change.
They are discussing a proposed transportation sales tax that could collect as much as $1.1 billion.
Urge Your Congressman to Sign onto a Letter to Regulate Killer Kratom
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
On the last day of September, two University of Mississippi students were found dead in separate dorm rooms. Reports of kratom at both scenes have raised serious concerns about the dangers of this increasingly popular substance. Despite its growing availability and potential for abuse, kratom remains largely unregulated at the federal level. Congress can act by pressing the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to pursue stronger federal controls by making all kratom a Schedule I controlled substance.

Greenville Takes Third Among America’s Most Republican Major Metro Areas
- Details
- By The Times Examiner Staff Report
The Upstate earns a place near the top in a national comparison of 2024 presidential voting.
Greenville has another national ranking to add to its résumé, and this one comes with a distinctly red ribbon. A map featured by Brilliant Maps places the Greenville metropolitan area third among the most Republican of the nation’s 100 largest metro areas. For local Republicans, that is a fun bit of hometown recognition, with only Provo, Utah, and Knoxville, Tennessee, finishing ahead of Greenville.
The comparison, credited to Josh Metcalf at VoteHub and featured in a September 28 post, uses 2024 presidential election results within metropolitan statistical boundaries. Greenville posted a Republican winning margin of 33.5 percentage points, behind Provo’s 41.9 points and Knoxville’s 35 points. That puts Greenville just 1.5 points behind second place and ahead of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Ogden, Utah, which rounded out the top five.
