County officials face tough calls in the Rock Hill region. Just not on the ballot

The easiest races to call on election night are for seats that handle some of the most contentious public issues across the Rock Hill region. Yet most of those races were all but decided before polls closed. Residents have poured into York County Council meetings each month for years now to debate data centers and solar panel manufacturing. A little more than a week ago, the latest protest drew a large crowd asking the county not to allow Canadian manufacturer Silfab Solar to use industrial chemicals near schools in Fort Mill. The county is involved with multiple lawsuits on the issue. Yet with three York County Council seats on the ballot this fall, all three saw incumbents run unopposed. Republicans Tommy Adkins and Debi Cloninger will keep their seats, as will Democrat William “Bump” Roddey. It’s a similar story in Lancaster County, where residents routinely plead with Lancaster County Council to slow down growth, improve infrastructure or deny new projects in the fast-growing Indian Land area. They’ve tackled hot button issues of late from where to allow data centers to a moratorium on places of worship . Lancaster County Council had three contests on the ballot Tuesday. All three saw

Ex-Hendrick Employee Says His Supervisor Struck Workers in the Head and Neck for a Decade, and N.C. Appeals Court Lets His Lawsuit Proceed

The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled on Oct. 7 that Randy Hembree, a former employee of Charlotte-based Hendrick Automotive Group, can keep suing his supervisor, Eric William Wright, over allegations that Wright struck subordinates in the head and neck to motivate them. The allegations are unproven, and the ruling does not decide them. It decides where the fight happens: a superior court, not the state’s workers’ compensation agency.
