Eirene...I was pretty much confused as to what I thought about the whole situation. From what I've seen on the news, I have been saying, something just doesn't sound right. I am here in SC as well, in Columbia to be exact, and even seeing the higher ranking city official speak on TV about the transition has me somewhat leery. Supposedly, they are splitting up the group that is coming to SC, half are set to come to Columbia, and half of the families to Cayce. Cayce, which I would dare to say is ONE of the more 'less progressive' cities in the midlands (second probably only to it's next door neighbors West Columbia and Lexington), is holding a town meeting to see what to do with them, and one of their officials was on the news saying, "We just don't have room, maybe for only like 2 or 3 families".
From what I've seen, there are a lot of people who don't want them here.
I guess they will come here and just deal with a lesser of two evils.
