Charleston Native,
You know how a lot of these people are. They hate Charleston, but this July 4th will be right down at Sun Rise Park, which is owned by Charleston. Even if they form a new Town, they will go down to the Sun Rise park and celebrate the victory! Then the next day head downtown for breakfast and a walk around town.
My neighbor said Ravanel only had 600 people in the town, was awarded a lot of tax money when they formed, and the State came in and shut them down. He is extremely reliable, although he could have gotten his rink dink towns mixed up.
By the way the big JI vote is today. I have been by twice and it looks like mostly older, retired people are voting, and the last thing they want is higher taxes.
But the Town supporters are so hell bent on forming their own town, the last election was also a two to one vote in favor of the town, so no one knows which way it will go today.
