☆ Developers Got Backing for Affordable Housing. Then the Neighborhood Found Out.
  + stars: | 2024-03-01 | by ( Jason Deparle | Photographs | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When developers set out to build 60 subsidized apartments in an affluent corner of Florence, S.C., the chairman of the County Council waxed enthusiastic. Affordable housing “would serve a great need,” he wrote, and its proximity to services and jobs fit county planning goals. Lawyers, executives and civic leaders, they gathered at the Florence Country Club, a half-mile from the proposed development, and vowed to block it. In many if not most affluent communities, existing land-use rules would have barred low-income housing, with the regulations often operating so quietly that they hide how fully exclusion is a product of design. But a quirk in the Florence County zoning code, permitting the subsidized apartments, brought the opposition into public view.

☆ Man Who Killed 2 South Carolina Officers and Wounded 5 Others in Ambush Prepares for Sentencing

Hopkins pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and five counts of attempted murder last week in an unannounced hearing more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) from where the shootings took place. He kept shooting as more officers rushed to the scene to save their comrades, investigators said. Rescuers had to wait for an armored vehicle so they could get close enough to try to save the wounded officers. Hopkins', 33-year-old Seth Hopkins, pleaded guilty in 2019 to second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and is serving 20 years in prison. Reporters were not told of the hearing where Hopkins pleaded guilty, although the families of the victims and the police agencies were notified.

☆ Wisconsin sawmill has agreed to stop hiring children after a 16-year-old died on the job

A Wisconsin sawmill operator has agreed to stop hiring children after the death of a teenager. Michael Schuls, 16, died of "traumatic asphyxia" after an accident at Florence Hardwoods. The company also employed nine children, some as young as 14, "to illegally operate machinery," including saws for processing lumber. AdvertisementAdvertisement"While we did not knowingly or intentionally violate labor laws, we accept the findings and associated penalties," Florence Hardwoods said in a statement provided to Insider. In May, a pair of Wisconsin Republicans began circulating a bill that would allow 14-year-olds to serve alcohol; earlier, the state's Republican-led legislature legalized children working as late as 11 p.m.
