Honea flinches and winces at Loftis email

Fair Play’s Ryan Honea reacted Monday to an email from South Carolina State Treasurer Curtis Loftis, urging a no vote on any local sales tax proposition. Honea, whose agricultural area would have benefited from passage of Oconee’s 1-cent referendum, decided he would then do some horse trading with Loftis, the state’s purse holder. Honea fired back an answer, urging Loftis to release funds to Oconee that were promised as part of the state’s Local Government Fund. Loftis replied, “I’m for it.” Honea’s reply, “Well, get it done.”
