Tenants wait for redevelopment of old Charleston housing units

By Herb Frazier

Truecella Oliver, a mother of two toddlers, left a temporary stay at a North Charleston motel in 2024 to live in a Charleston public housing apartment hoping her family’s long-term living conditions would improve.

Instead, she has complained about problems with plumbing, electrical issues, heating and cooling system problems in her two-story apartment at the aging Cooper River Courts on Morrison Drive. It is managed by the Housing Authority of the City of Charleston (CHA).

CHA commissioners acknowledged at its March meeting that most of its housing units built in the 1930s by the federal government have outlived their lifespans, and they need to be replaced. The authority had a contract to redevelop Cooper River Courts, but Charleston Mayor William Cogswell asked commissioners to set it aside.

For Oliver, however, the conditions in and outside of her apartment are daily reminders of what it’s like to live in a problem-plagued building that was not designed to last into the 21st century. During an interview with the Charleston City Paper, Oliver quickly pointed to a series of nagging problems:

• Leak. A leaky drainpipe that protrudes from the ceiling over her dining-area table drips water from the second-floor bathroom where mold is under a coat of paint, she said. She does not use that bathroom.

• Clogs. One side of a two-sided kitchen sink, she complained, backs up when the

other sink is filled with water.

• Outlet. A maintenance crew fixed a sparking electrical outlet, she said, but she is afraid to use it.

• Heat. Her monthly heating bill in a poorly insulated four-bedroom, two-bath apartment can be as high as $500, she said. “No matter what I do, it gets higher,” she added.

• Cats. In the grassy area between parallel brown-brick apartment buildings, children play while mothers fear they could be bitten by stray, feral cats, Oliver said.

• Sewage. One row over from Oliver’s apartment, she pointed to stinky raw sewage flowing into the grass from a busted above-ground pipe that attracts swarming flies a few steps from her neighborhood’s back door.

Plans for repairs

The need for repairs will likely be a top priority for the CHA’s next chief executive officer Nathan Frank Simms Jr., who was appointed to the position Monday after the commissioners voted 5-2 to hire him He will start May 4, according to Jessica Munday, CHA’s spokesperson.

In an email to the City Paper, Munday said the agency is aware of the repair concerns at Cooper River Courts.

“This property, along with several others, is part of an active … redevelopment effort, and many of the conditions cited are consistent with aging infrastructure. In the meantime, our maintenance team addresses needs as they are reported.”

Blue Angels to fly May 2 over Charleston

Up, up and away! Joint Base Charleston is partnering with Charleston and Mount Pleasant to host Saturday’s free 2026 Charleston Airshow that features the soaring acrobatics of the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels.

The event, which originally was going to take place over three days around the base, was switched to a one-day free show due to “necessary result of increased operational requirements due to current global events.”

Saturday’s event will take place over the Charleston Harbor, south of the Cooper River Bridge between downtown Charleston and Mount Pleasant at 1 p.m. Passes will not be required for the event.

On the issue of raw sewage flowing in the grass, Munday wrote: “To date, there have been no reports of raw sewage at Cooper River Courts. If a resident is experiencing that type of issue, it is critical that it be reported immediately so the maintenance team can respond accordingly.”

According to a Cooper River Courts resident, the tenant who lives near the busted sewer pipe is afraid to complain over fears of retaliation.

The CHA has acted on the water and sewer issues at Meeting Street Manor and Cooper River Courts, Munday said. “At a special board meeting on Aug. 18, 2025, the board approved the use of an outside contractor for the full replacement of the water and sewer lines at the site,” she said. The contract for that work is more than $1.3 million, she added.

The presence of feral cats reflects a broader, citywide challenge, Munday said. “We coordinate with appropriate municipal partners when they are reported,” she said.

Redevelopment was coming

Oliver said after she attended three community meetings in the past year with The Integral Group, she felt that improved living conditions could be near. In April 2024, the CHA’s commissioners unanimously selected The Integral Group, an Atlanta-based urban development company, to redevelop Cooper River Courts and a portion of the neighboring Meeting Street Manor.

The redeveloped Cooper River Courts will be called Morrison Station. It will have

Lowcountry farms, gardens drying up amid drought

By Skyler Baldwin

Sparse vegetables and dusty pastures are common sights these days at several Lowcountry farms as an ongoing drought has farmers and agriculture officials worried for the season.

Thomas Legare, a ninth generation farmer on the 301-year-old Legare Farm on Johns Island, is looking ahead to his annual U-pick pumpkin patch, but if things don’t get better, he’s not sure what it will look like.

“We start planting our pumpkins in June,” he said. “But if we don’t start getting some good rain between now and then, we’re going to be in a very serious mess. We’re already in a crisis, but it will get even worse.”

Other U-pick farms in the area are feeling the effects, too. Many of the popular spots and crops are irrigated, keeping the leaves green and fruit plump, but every step between rows of plants kicks up a cloud of dry dust, reminding harvesters of how harsh the weather is for farmers across the state.

‘Pray for rain’

Despite some weekend rain in the forecast for a change, Legare is worried it won’t be enough. For now, his primary concern is his cow pasture.

He said he looks for about an inch of water per week, supplementing rainfall with watering when it falls short. But with how dry it’s been, he hasn’t been able to keep up. Now, the ground is so parched, he worries that heavy rain would run off before it has a chance to soak into the ground. The only thing that might work, he said, is slow and steady rain for several weeks in a row.

“The cows are hurting right now,” he said. “They’re just not getting any grass like they

should be due to the lack of water. We don’t have irrigation here, so there’s not a whole lot we can do but pray for rain, I guess.

“I put a little picture up on Facebook that I stole from someone else that says, ‘Pray for rain.’ And I had one woman leave a comment that said she’d do a rain dance for us. Please do. Everything helps.”

Legare said if conditions don’t improve, he’ll have to start feeding his cattle hay instead of relying on natural grazing, an expense he isn’t prepared for as prices continue to rise. And that’s assuming he can find hay at all.

“Most people have run out of last year’s crops, and they haven’t started bailing yet,” he said. “It’s still early in the year for that, so it’s going to be tough to find it.”

In the worst case, he said he’ll have to start selling off livestock.

Historic conditions

The National Weather Service reported March was South Carolina’s third-driest on record, dating back to 1895. And that followed an already exceptionally dry winter. Until last weekend, it didn’t rain at all in April either.

“We’ve kept records for 40 years,” Legare said. “There’s something going on with our weather. Whether you want to call it global warming or climate change, normally this time of year, we would be getting some rain.”

Legare said droughts aren’t uncommon in late summer, in July and August, but the dry conditions this early in the year are unexpected and could have lasting impacts.

Most of South Carolina is in fairly bad shape, said Eva Moore, communications director for the S.C. Department of Agriculture.

“This kind of spring drought is unusual,”

she said, adding that most of the state’s 22,000 farms are feeling the impact from the drought.

“Soil moisture is very low right now,” she said. “Some folks have delayed planting in hopes of some rainfall. Cotton and peanut planting is supposed to be going on now, and those who did plant are having to irrigate to make sure their seeds germinate.”

Recovery will take a long time, as the soil is dry “way down,” Moore said. “We’re going to need some pretty significant rain just to replenish the soil moisture. … When the drought ends, that’s when recovery can actually start.”

Even irrigation only staves off the immediate impacts of drought, but secondary effects can still have an impact.

“We just see so many other potential prob

A downtown man on April 14 called Charleston police when he “discovered his bicycle to be missing” early one foggy morning after he left it unlocked in his apartment complex’s parking lot. Stranded on foot in some thick Lowcountry fog? Talk about a nightmare — or some old-school horror movie fan’s dream come true.

Criminal of the year

North Charleston police are investigating the apparent theft of a $10,000 HVAC condensing unit taken from an Oregon Avenue home on April 8. Police noted the property is vacant, and there are no security cameras that captured the 2.5-ton unit being stolen. Beyond the numbers, disabling someone’s air conditioning right before May is basically evil. Shame.

Cheers all around!

a swimming pool, exercise room, a grocery store to solve the community’s “food desert” dilemma, and possibly a revived branch of the historic Charleston YMCA for recreation programs.

With $5.5 billion in development projects either completed or underway in 25 states, the company said it can do what it has promised in 10 to 12 years. But that timetable has been upended by Cogswell’s request in January that the CHA, a semiindependent commission from the city, cancel its contract with Integral.

In late 2025, Cogswell announced his Project 3500 as a solution to the city’s crisis to meet the demand for affordable housing. The mayor’s goal is to deliver 3,500 new housing units citywide by 2032 through partnerships between the city, the CHA and the WestEdge Foundation. “It’s the most pressing social, economic and cultural issue

that we have right now,” the mayor has said.

In a Jan. 12, 2026, letter to CHA commission chairman Gregory K. Voigt, the mayor wrote: “Integral is a well-respected and impressive firm, but much has changed since CHA entered into the current agreement.”

The scope of the redevelopment project has broadened to include a proposed partnership with the city and the West Edge Foundation that “includes non-Housing Authority property to avoid displacement of existing residents and create multiple larger mixed-income and mixed-use redevelopments,” according to the mayor’s letter.

Cogswell requested that CHA “rebid this portion of the project. … Integral would of course be welcome and well positioned to bid on a subsequent offering” under different terms and conditions. Any cost to end the agreement, the mayor said, “would be absorbed by the larger partnership.”

Cogswell was not available this week for comment, said city spokesperson Deja Knight McMillan.

In an email to the City Paper, Voigt wrote: “We appreciate the mayor’s dedication to expanding access to affordable housing across the city and believe the year ahead will build on our current and past efforts and help move key initiatives forward. Conversations with Integral remain ongoing. We value their expertise in working with housing authorities and appreciate their patience as we move through this period of leadership transition.”

After the CHA received Cogswell’s request, Egbert L.J. Perry, Integral’s chairman and CEO, met with housing authority commissioners in early March. He told them, ”We recognize the responsibility you carry for the authority and for the families who depend on it. Projects of this scale succeed when the housing authority, the city and the development partner are aligned in both purpose and structure. We are here in that spirit as partners, committed to ensuring that whatever path is chosen is workable, financially sound and durable over time.”

Mount Pleasant police on April 12 stopped to speak with a homeless man sitting and eating in a U.S. Highway 17 parking lot after receiving a call about a “suspicious person” loitering outside of a business. Despite having an outstanding warrant from California, police told him as long as he moved along after he finished his meal, they would have no issues. And great news: That’s where the report ends.

Statehouse sprints toward end of session

By Jack O’Toole, Statehouse bureau

With only six working days left in the 2026 legislative session that officially ends May 14, lawmakers are scrambling to get bills over the finish line before the clock runs out. Other than the state’s much-covered $15 billion annual budget for 2026-27, here are five initiatives we’re watching as time runs short.

• Tax cuts: Since January, lawmakers have looked at three major tax cuts totaling almost $1 billion. The first, a $310 million income tax bill that would cut taxes for about 40% of upper income ratepayers, is now law. The second, a House-passed effort to apply President Donald Trump’s 2025 federal tax cuts to the S.C. tax code, failed in the Senate. The third major cut, a $250 million Senate-passed property tax cut for senior citizens, is now in the Senate’s state budget, which will force the House to consider it.

• DUI reform: With S.C. continuing to lead the nation in per-capita drunk-driving deaths, the S.C. Senate unanimously passed major DUI reform legislation in early February, strengthening penalties, pushing suspects to submit to Breathalyzer tests and closing legal loopholes that have made it difficult for prosecutors to secure convictions based on video evidence. Supporters say there’s still time for House members to get the bill onto the floor for a vote before May 14 — but that the odds fall every day the bill remains stalled.

• SCDOT modernization: Senators in March passed what one member called a “massive” modernization bill for the S.C. Department of Transportation

Drought

lems across agriculture during a drought,” Moore said. “Plants are stressed by the intense heat and lack of moisture and are more susceptible to disease and insect damage.”

Help on the way

The S.C. Department of Agriculture is encouraging farmers to report their drought conditions to state and federal officials so disaster declarations can trigger some relief.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) last week declared a disaster in 30 South Carolina counties, including Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties.

The natural disaster designation allows the USDA’s Farm Service Agency to extend emergency loans to farmers struggling through the drought. Emergency loans can be used to meet various recovery needs including the replacement of essential items such as equipment or livestock, reorganization of a farming operation or to refinance certain debts.

Additionally, the S.C. Senate on April 23

(SCDOT) that would encourage counties to take ownership of non-critical state roads, streamline the environmental permitting process for new transportation projects and raise additional dollars with expanded tolls and fees on electric vehicles. But the real game-changer would allow SCDOT to enter into public-private partnerships to add “choice lanes” — that is, tolled access lanes — to congested highways. The House, which began its own SCDOT-modernization process with a series of public hearings across the state last year, amended the bill this week with new language.

• Data centers: A Senate bill that sponsors say would address concerns about massive data centers would require them to pay all costs associated with their energy use, mandates the use of water-saving technologies and impose environmentally friendly siting standards. Despite strong bipartisan support, Senate leaders say there likely isn’t enough time to it through both chambers this year.

• THC drinks and edibles: Both chambers have considered legislation that would either ban or strictly regulate legalized hemp-derived THC drinks and edibles. The Senate passed a bill last month to limit sales to adults and restrict sales of all products containing more than 5 milligrams of THC to liquor stores. But in a pair of mutually exclusive moves in late April, the House voted both to ban the products and to restrict their sale to those over 21. House leaders said the votes will allow any final regulatory system to be negotiated in a conference between the two chambers.

added a measure to the state budget that would give $35 million to farmers in financial assistance. Separate legislation in the state House of Representatives upped it to $50 million.

Legare said he is thankful for the relief that’s available, but is worried about how long it will take to arrive, and if it will be enough or if his livestock-heavy farm qualifies.

“There are some government programs out there, but we don’t know if that’s going to be just for row crop farmers or specialty crops people are growing,” he said. “ I don’t want to have to depend on the state or federal government, but hey, if they’re offering it, I’m not going to say no.”

But the support coming from the statehouse was meant to support farmers struggling from ongoing economic hardships, not the drought. State row croppers have lost about $700 million over the last two years, according to Farm Bureau data. So far, South Carolina farmers have received about $52 million in benefits, according to a public database.

“It’s just going to take a while for the industry to bounce back,” Legare said.

Might be time for Lindsey to come home

The transformation of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham from a South Carolina firebrand into a sycophantic toady of President Donald Trump has been fascinating, disappointing and uncomfortable to watch.

Maybe it’s time for him to come home. Or stay in Washington and be a paid toady for special interests.

When Graham first was elected to Congress in 1994, he was an outspoken hawk in favor of the military who spoke with a zealot’s passion for reform. In 1997, he even took part in a leadership challenge to GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Later that year, he was one of 18 House Republicans to co-sponsor a move to impeach President Bill Clinton — and got a lot of TV time waxing on about that.

By 2002 when South Carolina’s longtime U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond decided to retire, Graham ran for the seat. Unopposed in the GOP primary, he won the general election by 10 points.

Soon Graham became even more of a darling of the Sunday news talk shows in Washington, in part because of his broad committee work on defense, intelligence, judicial and budget issues. Along the way, he got to be a close ally of the late U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and strongly supported him in the 2008 election. They appeared together so much it seemed to many that Graham was McCain’s shadow.

In June 2015, Graham threw his hat into the presidential ring with a host of other GOP candidates. A month later, Graham called Trump, another candidate, a “jackass” after Trump said McCain wasn’t a war hero. Trump reacted by saying Graham was an “idiot” and then released his cell phone number to the public.

As Graham’s campaign flagged, Trump called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States. Graham famously reacted: “He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot ... He doesn’t represent my [Republican] party ... I don’t think he has a clue about anything ... He is empowering radical Islam ... You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell.”

But something happened after Trump won the 2016 election. Maybe Graham was looking for another alpha male to follow. Or maybe he realized politics changed and he wanted to be, as he later said, “relevant.” Within months, Graham entered Trump’s inner circle, played golf with him and started touting the narrow red Trump line.

Just this week, for example, he took the lead to secure $400 million in funding for Trump’s planned presidential ballroom — a boondoggle if there ever were one — on the pretext it was essential to national security after a gunman tried to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday.

As Trump’s sycophant, he also threatened Norway with Trump tariffs for divesting from Caterpillar. He pressured Arab nations to support the Iran war. He toted Trump’s water in criticizing Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. He lashed out at a Danish leader over Greenland, which Trump wants. And he criticized the pope — yes, the pope — for pushing peace in Iran, saying the pope didn’t understand the “evil nature” of the regime in Iran.

South Carolinians deserve somebody who focuses day and night on South Carolina, not someone who kowtows to a president to feed the global media frenzy.

CHARLESTON CHECKLIST of community objectives

We encourage community leaders to act on these audacious priorities:

1. Deal with the water. Build a strong resiliency plan to harden infrastructure and make smart climate change decisions about development, roads and quality of life.

2. Fix roads, traffic. Repair and improve roads and reduce traffic. Speed up alternatives, including more public transportation.

3. Be smarter about education. Inject new energy into the broken Charleston County school board by focusing on kids, not national mantras.

4. Conduct public business in public. Be transparent in public business. Stop the secrecy.

5. Invest in quality of life. Build more parks. Have more festivals. Invest in infrastructure that promotes a broad sense of community.

6. Engage in real racial conciliation. If we embark on more conversations and actions on racial reconciliation, our community will strengthen and grow.

7. Develop fewer hotels, more affordable housing. Make Charleston a more affordable place to live for everyone.

8. Develop Union Pier at scale. Let’s not put ship-sized buildings on the coveted Union Pier property downtown. Instead, make what comes appropriate.

9. Build and follow a 50-year plan. Plan for the county’s long-term future and follow the plan.

10. Pay people more. Pay a living wage. Push South Carolina lawmakers to set a real minimum wage.

Get rid of cruel abortion bill or take away the Viagra

By Andy Brack

This is not something shared lightly: I will discourage my college-age daughters from returning to live in South Carolina as long as venal Republican legislators keep trying to make the state’s already barbaric antiabortion restrictions even stricter.

These young women — and millions of South Carolina women — shouldn’t have to live in a state that wants to take away freedoms and health care decisions because of narrow-minded zealots on some mission to turn back the clock.

What six white male GOP senators have been pushing, particularly in the last few days, is ratcheting up venom, hate and cruelty. They’re trying to impose their deluded wills on South Carolina’s women. It’s nothing short of morally and physically disgusting.

So shame on these six state GOP senators who are actively backing the so-called “Unborn Child Protection Act” (S. 1095): Sens. Richard Cash, the Anderson ringleader, as well as Danny Verdin of Laurens, Tom Fernandez of Summerville, Carlisle Kennedy of Lexington, Billy Garrett of McCormick and Rex Rice of Easley.

The summary of the bill is pretty succinct. It seeks to “prohibit abortions.” But it wants to do so in such a brutal, vulgar manner that it would ban abortion from the moment a pregnancy was detected clinically as well as eliminate exceptions of rape, incest and fatal fetal anomaly, which currently is allowed under S.C.’s already restrictive law. Even worse: Anyone connected with an abortion could face felony charges — even doctors, who could face up to 20 years in prison and a $100,000 fine. A woman who received an abortion could face a misdemeanor charge and up to two years in prison.

Translated: These men — who can’t give birth and really know nothing about it — are as serious as heart attacks in an election year with yet another wicked scheme to inflame people about abortion. I wish prochoice legislators would start introducing bills to ban Viagra, Cialis and other erectile dysfunction drugs. Maybe anti-abortion male nimrods would wake up a little bit if they saw their health choices being limited.

So it came as no surprise Wednesday when the S.C. Senate Medical Affairs Committee, chaired by Verdin, rammed through this cruel bill on an 8-4 voice vote. Garrett, Fernandez and Cash are members of the committee. Three Democrats and Republican Tom Davis of Beaufort voted against the measure.

For South Carolina’s women, Davis is the new hero in this long, continuing abortion debate which led to the ouster of three vocal Republican women senators in the 2024 election. On Wednesday, Davis vowed the anti-choice cabal’s draconian abortion bill would not make it through the state Senate this year — even if he had to filibuster it after senators dealt with the state budget. (The General Assembly will adjourn May 14.)

“I don’t want to be associated with this,” Davis said this week. “I don’t want the party that I am affiliated with to be associated with this. I’m embarrassed.”

Later he added the restrictive bill does not reflect the views of most South Carolinians: “Somebody has got to yell stop. We jumped the shark on this. This is ridiculous. This bill is so out of line of where South Carolinians are on this issue, I doubt that 5% of South Carolinians think that this is a good idea.”

Vicki Ringer of Planned Parenthood South Atlantic said in a statement that anti-abortion lawmakers were endangering lives with bills like S. 1095.

“South Carolina has risen in infamy as a state where it’s too hard to get reproductive and pregnancy care and where it’s dangerous to give birth, particularly for Black women,” she said. “But instead of working toward solutions that bring more providers into this state and make health care more accessible, all our lawmakers offer are prayers, platitudes and harsher threats.

“If lawmakers won’t hold themselves accountable for their actions, we must do it for them. We won’t stop fighting — and we won’t be silenced.”

Good. Job #1: Stop the bill dead in its tracks. Job #2: Get rid of their ED medication.

Third bite at the apple?

EDITOR’S NOTE: Since this story was put in print, Sanford has suspended his campaign. Read the story anyway to see his thoughts about what’s happening in the country.

By Andy Brack

If you’re expecting to read anything salacious about former Gov. Mark Sanford in this story, you can stop reading. But you might want to continue reading to learn about the new twist to his Wizard of Oz path of public service.

This story focuses on why Sanford is running for Congress a third time — something that surprised many on March 30, which was the last day that candidates could file for the congressional seat that stretches from McClellanville through Charleston to Beaufort County.

Yep, Sanford is back, comfortable in a blue button-down shirt and jeans and driving an old Chevy Tahoe with hundreds of thousands of miles on it.

He’s more relaxed than the firebrand of 32 years ago elected on a term limits pledge and who kept his word and left Congress six years later. Same guy who then ran for governor, pulled a publicity stunt with pigs at the Statehouse to showcase pork-barrel spending and served eight years pushing fiscal accountability. By 2013, when then-U.S. Rep. Tim Scott was appointed to the U.S. Senate, Sanford won a special congressional election before losing a 2018 Republican primary.

“You don’t invest 25 years of your life, on and off again, if you don’t care,” Sanford said in a recent, extended interview with the Charleston City Paper. “And I care deeply about the financial trajectory of our country.

“You don’t invest 25 years of your life, on and off again, if you don’t care. And I care deeply about the financial trajectory of our country.”

“I’ve got an audience of four who really matter to me. And my boys are going to get ripped if we stay on the course we’re on.”

In the next few days, Sanford will turn 66. His four “boys” are grown and he’s expecting his first grandchild. He’s also got an area delivery business with about 100 drivers with whom he spends a lot of time — and who teach him about everyday life that many Cole Haan Republicans don’t learn about.

So why’s Sanford running for a third stint in Congress? In short, because he wants the nation to wake up to the fiscal nightmare that is facing the country if it doesn’t get its mess together. Which is a similar mes-

sage to what he’s been preaching for three decades. It’s just that things have gotten worse. A lot worse.

Deep navy in a sea of shades of MAGA red

Johns Island farmer Sidi Limehouse says he started urging Sanford to jump into the First Congressional District race back in October because he had more to offer in a nation swimming in debt. He figured that Sanford had been talking about fiscal issues for years. And now was the time people needed to hear more about it.

“I kept pestering him,” Limehouse said. “Finally, I got him to see things my way and run.”

Sanford said Limehouse called every week saying, “You’re over there on the sidelines. You ought to be back on the playing field because this is exactly what you’ve talked about.”

In the Republican-leaning First District, President Donald Trump is still relatively popular, particularly among MAGA zealots. The nine other GOP candidates in the June primary are various shades of MAGA red, all desperate to link their names, resumes, records and positions to Trump.

Sanford, who often seems more comfortable being an outsider with a libertarian streak, is not a MAGA candidate. If he were a color, it would be the deep navy of the George H.W. Bush era that represented fiscal conservatism — pay your bills, don’t borrow too much, have a strong defense and steer government toward local, not federal.

If you read between the lines of polling, more Americans seem to be talking quietly about these older financial values as Trump declines physically and politically.

An affordability crisis

These days, Sanford talks easily about something that confounds many Republicans and Democrats — the higher costs at the store, gas pump and apartment that threaten the American way of life.

“Historically, what’s killed off civiliza-

Sanford’s accomplishments

Land. During Sanford’s term as governor, the state set aside 287,000 acres for conservation.

Tax reform. Sanford started the push for income-tax reform that still goes on today. He helped to lead the effort to cut marginal business rates and to pass “the largest recurring tax cut in state history,” according to his website.

DMV. Sanford touts cutting the waiting time in lines at the state Department of Motor Vehicles from 66 minutes to 15 minutes.

Sanford announced in 2009 that Boeing would build a Dreamliner plant in North Charleston

Spending. In addition to being tough on legislative spending, he launched a blue ribbon commission to look at ways to save money and reshape state government, such as an effort that lawmakers still avoid today — removing unnecessary sales tax exemptions for special interests that costs billions of dollars of revenues to the state that could lower the sales tax rate.

Executive budget. Sanford said his governorship was the first to produce an operational executive branch budget — a tool that’s commonplace at the start of legislative sessions now.

tions has been basically spending themselves into oblivion,” he said. “As you know, it wasn’t relevant when I was in Congress the first time. Back then, we were at a 30% debt-to-GDP (gross domestic product) ratio. Now, we’re at 120%.”

In fact in 1995 when Sanford first took office, the national debt — how much we owe as a country — was $5 trillion. Now, 31 years later? It’s eight times higher at $39 trillion. And every four months, it goes up another trillion to pay, in large part, for interest costs on the debt, national defense and retirement programs.

“We’re headed for an affordability crisis based on the way these things play themselves out at the end of a debt cycle in making things less affordable,” Sanford warned. “So we have asset inflation, but stagnancy at some standpoint of wages — and it puts the regular working person in a real squeeze.”

This affordability crisis is a byproduct of the looming debt crisis, which threatens the future of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. It’s going to impact interest rates, he predicted “and when that impacts peo-

ples’ mortgages, impacts their credit cards, impacts their car payment, there’s just a lot of real life stuff that’s tied to nobody looking at financial realism in Washington, D.C.”

What’s next

Sanford, who hopes his message and name recognition will help him get into a primary runoff, said if he were to win the First District seat in November, he would have the advantages of knowing the system, not having to learn it over a couple of years. It should make him more effective, he said.

“I mean, the relationships matter. There is perspective that matters. There’s no hood-winking.”

And if the U.S. House turned to Democratic control?

“You do get a bully pulpit, a microphone,” he said, pledging to use it to focus on returning the nation to fiscal sense. “I would use every tool in my toolkit as a member of Congress to try and raise and elevate this issue that is currently ignored in Washington, D.C.”

Culture

By Maura Hogan

Soaring sonic artistry. Cutting-edge choreography. Contemporary crowd-pleasers and Broadway razzle dazzle, too.

The Charleston Gaillard Center today has announced its 2026–2027 season, rolling out an impressive slate of shows and concerts spanning artistic disciplines and places of origin. The program will be the Gaillard’s 11th since establishing itself as a nonprofit in 2015, and opening the doors of its acoustically superior, sumptuously 1,818-seat Martha and John M. Rivers Performance Hall, among other on-site spaces.

Arts lovers will delight in ambitious concerts by legendary musical artists like Yo-Yo Ma and Philip Glass and celebrated dance companies Trisha Brown Dance Company and Akram Khan Company in the midst of buzz-worthy world tours. They’ll find regionally resonant new commissions featuring local artists like digital artist Beeple and an added bump in Broadway fare and returning favorites, too.

“This season is a reflection of everything we believe the Gaillard can be,” said Lissa Frenkel, president and CEO of the Charleston Gaillard Center, in a statement. “Year after year, this stage becomes something more: a place where artists are invited to take risks, where new ideas find a home, and where audiences gather for experiences that stay with them long after the curtain falls.”

It is also the first season under the leadership of Nicole Taney, the Gaillard’s inaugural vice president of programming. Joining the center in August 2025, Taney has since scoured the globe, while also tapping longstanding relationships with seminal artists and companies.

“The most fun part of the job is going to see the work,” Taney told Charleston City Paper, noting that it offers a firsthand experience with audiences engaging with the performances. When that’s not possible, Taney dives deep into recent videos, or, in the case of new work, draws from her expansive background working at arts organizations, among them Trisha Brown Dance Company, Spoleto Festival USA and Celebrity Series of Boston.

Season highlights

• A world premiere as visionary digital artist Beeple and Grammy Awardwinning ensemble Sō Percussion join forces in a one-night-only immersive experience at Beeple Studios (Sept. 26).

• Akram Khan Company’s final touring production, Thikra: Night of Remembering (Oct. 1-2), a poignant culmination of 25 years of groundbreaking work.

• A rare, large-scale performance of Philip Glass’s complete set of twenty piano etudes, featuring ten renowned pianists (Nov. 1).

• The groundbreaking, renowned Trisha Brown Dance Company (Nov. 7) with a repertory program.

• The monthlong return in December of the iconic Spiegeltent on the Terrace Lawn for its fifth year, celebrated with an all-new production of Cabaret Royale by London’s acclaimed Underbelly.

• A concert starring Austin-born singersongwriter Shakey Graves during his Fondness, Etc. Tour (Dec. 5).

• Three Broadway luminaries, including two Hamilton stars, Leslie Odom, Jr. and Renée Elise Goldsberry (various dates).

• Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra perform for Marsalis’s final season as artistic director (Jan. 30, 2027).

• The New York Times bestselling author and cultural commentator Isabel Wilkerson (Feb. 23, 2027).

• The Surge: An Ode to Sinéad O’Connor offers dance enthusiasts a bold new work co-commissioned by the Gaillard and cho-

• An intimate and deeply expressive musical dialogue between cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Solon Gordon (April 4, 2027).

For Taney, booking marquee events, like the production of Akram Khan that is part of the company’s final tour and has a limited run, is indicative of the draw that the Gaillard has for top-tier artists.

Patrons will also find returns of past favorites to the stage, among them Lowcountry Jazz Festival (Sept. 4-6) for Charleston’s signature smooth jazz weekend with an all-star lineup; Black Violin (Oct. 15); David Sedaris (Oct. 30); Broadway star Audra McDonald (March 6, 2027); and Dance Theatre of Harlem (April 30–May 1, 2027).

“I’m very impressed and heartened by the audience turnout that we’ve had over my first season here and it’s been really exciting to experience really full houses,” Taney said, adding that this season builds on previous years. “The opportunities are there with Charleston growing.

“And artists love coming to Charleston. It’s not a hardship.”

Charleston studio remasters star’s catalog for bigger sound

By Vincent Harris

You might not know it, but pop music history is currently being reshaped on St. Andrews Boulevard in Charleston. The most celebrated work by a wide range of artists from Wynton Marsalis to Weezer to ZZ Top to Wham! is being updated to sound bigger and more detailed than ever.

And if that’s not enough, there’s even a bigger star whose tunes are getting an updated audio thrill.

That’s thanks to Vlado Meller Mastering, a studio where analog-era recordings are remastered for the modern age using stateof-the-art immersive digital technology. The West Ashley business is named for renowned engineer Vlado Meller, who has worked for big-name musicians like Jay-Z and the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Metallica and Britney Spears), it’s the facility also is used regularly by major artists. Mastering Project Coordinator Andy Rivas is proud of its Charleston roots.

“Vlado moved here about 10 or 11 years ago from New York City,” Rivas told the Charleston City Paper. “He’s been working out here that whole time and the level of pride I feel about that is huge. Having this studio here and being able to work on projects like this means a lot to me.”

And if those names were big, the studio is now working on one of the most important catalogs in music history: Five of the late Michael Jackson’s original studio albums. These include 1979’s Off the Wall, 1987’s Bad, 1991’s Dangerous, 1995’s

HIStory: Past, Present and Future Book I, and 2001’s Invincible. Meller, who worked with producer Quincy Jones on some of those original recordings, is helping bring MJ’s catalog into Dolby Atmos, an immersive audio format that moves away from fixed stereo channels and allows sound to exist as objects placed anywhere in a three-dimensional space around the listener. The goal is to make playback feel less like sound coming from speakers and more like sound existing in a physical environment.

Transforming the music requires returning to original multitrack recordings and rebuilding the mixes so individual elements like vocals, drums, guitars and effects can be positioned independently in that 3D field.

Sound complicated but compelling? Yes. Difficult to execute? Also yes, especially given the pressure of working with one of the bestselling catalogs in music his-

West Ashley studio Vlado Meller Mastering is revamping five of the late Michael Jackson’s original albums

tory. Even in the wake of past controversy surrounding Jackson, his music remains widely loved. His albums sold more than 140 million copies combined.

“There’s an extreme amount of pressure to get it right and make sure nothing is incorrect,” Rivas said. “You have to be detail oriented to keep track of all the original files because these songs have to match the original stereo mixes down to the millisecond.”

Budget-minded MJ fans should note that getting the full effect of Dolby Atmos mixes requires the right setup. Beyond a compatible streaming service like Apple Music or Amazon Music, listeners need Atmos-enabled headphones, a smartphone with spatial audio support or a soundbar or home theater system with upward-firing or overhead speakers.

Once set up, the experience can feel almost like stepping into the music itself. Dolby Atmos is aimed at listeners who want a more cinematic experience than traditional stereo playback offers, with greater separation, clarity and spatial movement.

And that work is happening right here in Charleston. Vlado Meller Mastering has completed the first three albums in the series, with HIStory and Invincible coming out later this year (no firm date has been set). While the studio already has a strong reputation, Rivas said the project could open the door to more legacy artists.

“It’s an amazing opportunity and something we were all really excited to take on,” he said. “We hope to continue doing more work on additional MJ albums, and we’re excited to collaborate with other legacy artists of that caliber. We want to keep working with the best.”
