In his own words
I start by asking who actually has authority over the issue. Then I look for the ordinance, statute, budget, vote, meeting record, or other primary document that explains what happened. Political arguments matter, but they make more sense once the underlying facts are clear.
What Thomas covers
- Horry County Council meetings, budgets and ordinances
- South Carolina legislation that reaches the coast
- Public-safety policy, local infrastructure and transportation
- Local elections and civic participation
