And welcome to the program on your Wednesday afternoon. Glad to have you along with us. Well, there's been a lot of talk today about the Greenville County budget and how it's going to affect Greenville County schools. Well, I figured we would go right to the horse's mouth, so to speak, and talk with the chairman of the Greenville County Council. Benton Blunt is joining us. Benton, welcome to the program. Hope you're doing well. I'm doing pretty well, but I'm glad you said from the horse's mouth, because I have two feet pulled, and that's what I feel like today. Oh, boy. I bet. Yeah. Well, thanks for joining us, and fighting through the pain there. So what is going on with the budget, and and how is it affecting the Greenville County Schools? Alright. I'll try to make this as quick as I can, but it's pretty complex. So from a 30,000 foot view, the new upcoming Greenville County budget, lot of different things happening that people seen in the past. We're going to a one year budget, so there's no more two year budgets. It's just the fiscal year 2026. Right. We have a 1.5 reduction in property taxes, which is a mandate from the new members of council who came in, under that mandate. We have increased our roads budget from 13,000,000 to 40,000,000, which puts us up there where we're supposed to be or at least close, to Charleston County and some of the other counties like that. We're fully funding our public safety through our sheriff's department, EMS, and other services. But the way that we got to this place was from a unique situation with Filo agreements. And Filos are obviously where, new manufacturing jobs come to Greenville County. In the first five years, if they don't go into a Filo agreement, we receive no income at all. We receive no revenue at all. Yep. But through a Filo, we get money upfront, which is what this program is for and also to to bring high quality jobs to the Upstate. When we started this budget out, I spoke with the administrator, and I asked about how these funds were allocated. And, you know, I said it would be wonderful if we could use this system that's sometimes controversial in the public to do something good with it, which is fund our road system. And he looked into it and he said, you know what, Benton? We do have the ability to do that, and, let me see what we can do, which brought us to today. Now where the school board comes in, the Greenville County School System does get a portion of these Filos, which I still have a lot of questions as to why this money was ever allocated to them when they operate off residential, and this is solely manufacturing jobs Yeah. Right. Specifically in the southern part of the county. All that to say, we made those adjustments. We didn't know the specific numbers, but we knew that we would be sitting somewhere around 40,000,000 with the additional c funds we did thankfully receive from the state. We received more state money finally for once, and so that's what totaled the 40,000,000. The estimated amount that would be lost by the school system from reallocating the FELO percentages was at first around 8 to $10,000,000, but we found out as of yesterday, because we just got the numbers back, that it's actually $14,000,000. Along with that, our municipalities would be losing, up to a million dollars. We have some fire districts that will be losing up to a half a million in the southern part of Greenville County. So that, of course, started a big conversation. School system definitely felt like they were caught, you know, after they had already decided not to increase taxes, they were caught blindsided. Right. While I do take that into account, we we have a job as county council for core funds of govern or Oh, are you there? Yeah. There you go. I'm sorry. You gotta go back to and and start where you, left off just a few seconds ago as a a core value of county government. Yes. Our sole responsibility we have core functions of government that we have to ...

Can you imagine navigating the streets and roads of Charleston County between dusk and dawn without the aid of street lamps? The earliest inhabitants of this area relied on moonlight to guide their steps at night, but a campaign to provide nocturnal illumination commenced in the third quarter of the eighteenth century. The number of street lamps fueled by whale oil, then manufactured gas, then electricity gradually increased over the decades, establishing the comforting but unnatural glow that brightens the night sky over modern Charleston.

We also talk about the release of Eric's new book, “Anything But Bland” and its reception on social media. Plus the Jamie Lee Komoroski case goes to trial this week in Charleston County.

From the dawn of the Carolina Colony to the early twentieth century, residents of rural Charleston County enjoyed no police protection beyond their own vigilance. Ancient customs, imported from England and transformed by the institution of slavery, obliged free men to patrol their own neighborhoods on horseback, apprehend lawbreakers, and deliver them to justice. A paid rural police force gradually emerged in the early 1900s, fostered by the proliferation of automobiles, and eventually led to the creation of the modern Sheriff's Department in 1991.
