Regarding the Aug. 13 Metro article 'Congressman calls decades-old peace vigil a '24/7 eyesore'':
People like Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-New Jersey) who concern themselves with the appearance of our nation's capital presumably do so out of respect for what it represents. However, isn't it also in the interest of our common national heritage that we preserve and protect freedom of speech and important historic sites?

Abbott wins GOP primary nomination in race for open Spartanburg County Council seat

Republican voters on the eastern side of Spartanburg County went to the polls to select a nominee for Spartanburg County Council District 3. With 100% of the vote counted, Paul Abbott defeated Jason Lynch, 3,555 to 2,400. The two men were in a runoff race on Aug. 19 after emerging as the top two vote-getters in the Republican primary two weeks earlier. The development of new residential subdivisions was a major theme in the primary. The eastern section of Spartanburg County has not grown at the same rate as much of the rest of the county over the past few decades. But the east side tide has been rising lately. Residents have expressed concern about the development of new subdivisions and the impact on roads and other infrastructure. Abbott will take on Democrat Kathryn Harvey and Sarah Gonzalez, of the Forward Party, in November. The District 3 seat became open when longtime council member David Britt resigned to take a position with the South Carolina Public Service Commission.
