Sumter School District’s Board of Trustees will have a special called meeting tonight to discuss various matters, including personnel, in executive session, which is not open to the public. A district staff member dis- tributed the agenda for the meeting to the media late Wednesday afternoon. It’s not completely clear what personnel matters will be discussed, but the district and school board are not required to fully disclose matters discussed in executive session until the board takes action in open session on them. The agenda for tonight states school board members will receive legal advice from attorneys relating to potential adversarial claims and discussion of negotiations related to proposed contractual ar- PHOTO PROVIDED rangements.

BY JESSICA GRESKO Associated Press

WASHINGTON — They're already being called "Your Honor" in courtrooms across the country, but this week some of America's newest federal judges are students. They're together for training on their new jobs, a workshop affectionately called "Baby Judges School." The training is the first to be held for judges appointed by President Donald Trump, but there will be more. The new judges are learning everything from how to man- age the hundreds of cases they'll oversee to how to pick a jury, try civil and criminal cases and take a guilty plea. And they're attending sessions on ethics, on sentencing and THE ASSOCIATED PRESS on how to talk to victims, de- In this Nov. 15, 2017, photo, four of President Donald Trump’s nominees to be district court judges are sworn in to testify before the Senate fendants and their families.

$1.7 billion in nuclear debt paid off forever vs. 50 years of higher rates

If SCE&G combines with Dominion Energy, South Carolina wins.

That’s because Dominion Energy would pay down and eliminate forever $1.7 billion of debt for the failed nuclear project, lower rates at least 5%, and give a cash payment of $1,000 to the average South Carolina Electric & Gas electric customer.

Without the Dominion Energy and SCE&G combination, rates – already among the highest in the nation – will continue to go up. And customers will be stuck paying for the failed nuclear project for 50 more years. And that $1,000? It will not be paid to customers.

See for yourself why this combination is good for your pocketbook:

With the Dominion Energy/SCE&G Plan: $1,000 to the average South Carolina Electric & Gas electric customer 5% reduction in rates Dominion Energy pays down $1.7 billion of debt from failed nuclear facilities Reliable, affordable service

Without the Dominion Energy/SCE&G Plan: Continued payments on nuclear facilities for 50 years Higher rates South Carolina pays among the highest rates in the nation That $1,000 cash payment? Gone.

Want to make sure all these benefits are yours? Visit BrighterEnergyFuture.com to tell your state legislators that you support SCE&G combining with Dominion Energy.
