S.C. Issues

NPR

NPR's Adam Hochberg reports that trade is an important issue in Saturday's South Carolina primary. Commentator Pat Buchanan's protectionist proposals are attractive to textile workers, whose jobs are threatened, some believe, by foreign competition. But the state is also enjoying growth in jobs with foreign-owned firms, and this is giving encouragement to the GOP presidential candidates who favor free trade. Social issues, such as abortion, are also expected to figure prominently in Saturday's voting.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
