Upstate lawmaker to reintroduce bill to allow firing squad executions in SC
South Carolina Rep. Josh Putnam (R, Piedmont) said he plans to reintroduce a bill to add firing squads to the execution methods in South Carolina. Putnam first introduced the bill in 2015 but the legislation didn’t pass.

South Carolina Spent $9 Billion to Dig a Hole in the Ground and Then Fill it Back in

But before scoffing at the prospect of the wealthiest nation in the history of the world funding such a project, it’s worth taking a look at what one of the country’s poorest states was recently able to spend. South Carolina, in a bid to expand its generation of nuclear power in recent years, dropped $9 billion on a single project — and has nothing to show for it.
