Carolina and Clemson are hotbeds of special interest and conflicts.They do not care what people think because these two “businesses” have been minting zillionaires for decades.

To think that Senator Alexander would stop rich folks from getting richer is a joke. One should look at the large entities (that receive special treatment from the legislature) that also purchase large amounts of supplies from Alexander’s office supply store. One would quickly see that “special relationships”are found at every turn.

So….I am curious, what is the story here? Does Oconee County want to make MOGA (Make Oconee Great Again) without Clemson? Could you write a story about what their plan is?

I think theres a lot going on here, my wife goes to Clemson and she talks about how beautiful the area is and how developing it would ruin the aesthetics. I think that’s the general opinion of development in that area.

Clemson sounds like they want growth and living accommodations for students.

The town pricked up their ears to find out who’s behind the ones developing. Maybe ruining this area with development is just a big cash-in scheme disguised as improvement.

Representative Matt Durham standing firm for his constituents as the Sheepdog in the face of a possible wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing type of deal.

Possible involvement of an unsuccessful presidential candidate turned podcaster. Worried is the town if she is positioning herself to profit from this development deal. Given her success on profiting from her name to date.
