CREEL COURT REPORTING, INC. 1230 Richland Street / Columbia, SC 29201 (803) 252-3445 / (800) 822-0896 TRANSCRIPT OF CITY OF COLUMBIA CITY COUNCIL MEETING 7 1 UNKNOWN FEMALE: --- with our public hearing 2 section. Item Number 1, Forms of Government. 3 Mr. Scott Slatton, Legislative and Public 4 Policy Advocate for the Municipal Association 5 of South Carolina. 6 MR. SLATTON: Good evening, Mayor, Council. It is 7 a pleasure to be here with you again and 8 greetings, too, on behalf of the Municipal 9 Association. Mayor Benjamin asked me to be 10 here this evening and talk to you about the 11 forms of municipal government in South 12 Carolina, and you -- I hope that you have a 13 copy of the presentation in your packet. If 14 not, we've got it up there on the screen. And 15 with your permission, Mayor, I will move 16 briskly through this --- 17 MAYOR BENJAMIN: Okay. 18 MR. SLATTON: --- considering the number of items on 19 your agenda. And we'll hit the buttons here. 20 The forms of municipal government in South 21 Carolina were established by way of the Local 22 Government Act of 1975. It's often referred to 23 as the Home Rule Act. And of course, Home Rule 24 granted municipal and county governments 25 expanded powers. They had many powers that CREEL COURT REPORTING, INC. 1230 Richland Street / Columbia, SC 29201 (803) 252-3445 / (800) 822-0896 TRANSCRIPT OF CITY OF COLUMBIA CITY COUNCIL MEETING 8 1 they had derived over time, but the Home Rule 2 Act codified those authorities and powers. And 3 then, of course, the Act clearly states that 4 units are -- that local governments are units 5 of state government. We are creatures of the 6 state and we are often reminded of that by our 7 friends across the state and in the -- in the 8 legislature. There are two distinct areas of 9 responsibility in local governments, regardless 10 of the form, in all three forms. Policy equals 11 council -- the what and why of issues. It is 12 the council in all three forms that are 13 responsible for establishing policy and then 14 ensuring that that policy is implemented 15 according to its wishes. And then, the other 16 functional area is the administration. And 17 that often equals staff, administration and 18 operations -- the how, when and where of 19 issues. Policy is the exclusive perview of the 20 city council and administration is dependent 21 upon one of the three forms that is adopted by 22 the municipality, and we're gonna talk about 23 that in just a second. Further distinctions of 24 the forms of government, the major difference 25 in each of the three forms is where the CREEL COURT REPORTING, INC. 1230 Richland Street / Columbia, SC 29201 (803) 252-3445 / (800) 822-0896 TRANSCRIPT OF CITY OF COLUMBIA CITY COUNCIL MEETING 9 1 administrative and executive powers are held. 2 Who is responsible for the administration of 3 the city? Who's responsible for the execution 4 of the policy that the council adopts? 5 Legislative function, again, always remains 6 with the council.

My name: I’m Steve Coleman. I’ll keep this in the format that I have here. I’d like to start off with where you were born, when you were born. Freeman: Let’s see. It’s been a little problem with that age thing. Some say 1922. Some say 1923. Say 1923. Let’s make me a year younger. October the 3rd, 1923. Coleman: Why is there a problem with the age thing? Freeman: I don’t know. When I was unaware that they were writing, a lot of things said that I was born in ’22. I always thought I was born in ’23. So I asked my mother, and she said she couldn’t remember. Then at one time I had a birth certificate. It had ’22. So when I went to start traveling overseas, I put ’23 down. So it’s been wavering between ’22 and ’23. So I asked my brother Bruz. He says, “I was always two years older than you, two years your elder.” So that put me back to 1923. So I just let it stand there, for all the hysterians – historian that have written about me.

  • The Beatles and the Counterculture
    TCNJ JOURNAL OF STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP VOLUME XII APRIL, 2010 THE BEATLES AND THE COUNTERCULTURE Author: Jessica Corry Faculty Sponsor: David Venturo, Department of English ABSTRACT Throughout the 1960s, the Beatles exerted enormous influence not only as a critically acclaimed and commercially successful band, but also in the realm of social and cultural change. A number of factors facilitated the Beatles‟ rise to success, including the model of 1950s rock „n‟ roll culture, their Liverpudlian roots, and a collective synergy as well as a unique ability to adapt and evolve with their era. As both agents and models of change, the Beatles played a key role in establishing three main attributes of the embryonic counterculture: the maturing sensibility of rock music, greater personal freedom as expressed by physical appearance, and experimentation with drugs. United by the goal of redefining social norms, activists, protestors, hippies, and proponents of the growing counterculture found in the Beatles an ideal representation of the sentiments of the times. Embodying the very principle of change itself, the Beatles became a major symbol of cultural transformation and the veritable leaders of the 1960s youth movement. “All you need is love, love, love is all you need” (Lennon-McCartney). Broadcast live on the international television special, “Our World,” the Beatles performed “All You Need is Love” for an unprecedented audience of hundreds of millions around the world. As confetti and balloons rained down from the studio ceiling, the Beatles, dressed in psychedelic attire and surrounded by the eccentric members of Britain‟s pop aristocracy, visually and musically embodied the communal message of the 1967 Summer of Love.

  • Woptober-Fest Fra Gucci Mane
    17-10-2016 12:37 CEST Woptober-fest fra Gucci Mane Atlanta-rapperen Gucci Mane slapp albumet Woptober lørdag 15. oktober. Den talentfulle Atlanta-rapperen Gucci Mane er en av USA’s mest profilerte hip hop-artister, og det til tross for «fartsdumper» som dop-problemer, seriøse konflikter med andre artister, våpenbesittelse, arrestasjoner, fengselsstraff, husarrest og fotlenke. Gucci brukte tiden han satt inne konstruktivt, har fått (mer) orden på livet, og har vært ekstremt produktiv etter at han ble en fri mann. Etter at han kom ut av fengsel brukte han bare seks dager på å spille inn "Everybody Looking", og den ble gitt ut bare 58 dager senere. Ute i juli i år gikk den rett til topps på R&B/Hip Hop-listene i USA. Og nå slipper han altså "Woptober". Et album med 14 spor, hvor første smakebit "Bling Blaww Burr" er et onomatopoetisk slag i trynet med Young Dolph på gjestevokal. Gucci spytter hardt, og han blander iskald realisme med musikalitet og glimt i øyet. «My mama found some sacks on me, kicked me out of her house/But I had $40,000 saved, I shoulda been moved out». Sjekk ut musikkvideoen til "Bling Blaww Burr" her: Se video på YouTube her Albumet er smekkfullt av hooks, produksjonen nådeløst presis og Gucci samarbeider med blant annet Travis Scott, Rick Ross og tidligere nevnte Young Dolph. Party og alvor, Woptoberer et heftig og viktig album for Gucci, og for hip hop- fans. Woptober tracklist 1. "Intro: Fuck 12" 2. "Aggressive" 3. "The Left" 4. "Money Machine" feat.

  • Rage Stephen King (Richard Bachman)
    Rage Stephen King (Richard Bachman) A high school Show-and-Tell session explodes into a nightmare of evil So you understand that when we increase the number of variables, the axioms themselves never change. - Mrs. Jean Underwood Teacher, teacher, ring the bell, My lessons all to you I'll tell, And when my day at school is through, I'll know more than aught I knew. - Children's rhyme, c. 1880 Chapter 1 The morning I got it on was nice; a nice May morning. What made it nice was that I'd kept my breakfast down, and the squirrel I spotted in Algebra II. I sat in the row farthest from the door, which is next to the windows, and I spotted the squirrel on the lawn. The lawn of Placerville High School is a very good one. It does not fuck around. It comes right up to the building and says howdy. No one, at least in my four years at PHS, has tried to push it away from the building with a bunch of flowerbeds or baby pine trees or any of that happy horseshit. It comes right up to the concrete foundation, and there it grows, like it or not. It is true that two years ago at a town meeting some bag proposed that the town build a pavilion in front of the school, complete with a memorial to honor the guys who went to Placerville High and then got bumped off in one war or another. My friend Joe McKennedy was there, and he said they gave her nothing but a hard way to go.
