TOWN OF INDIAN LAND - BOTH SIDES

With the vote for incorporation coming up on March 27th, it's important to know what the vote will mean for Indian Land in general and SCCL in particular.  This posting in no way suggests you vote one way or another, but presents both sides of the issue to help you make an informed decision.  If you are not a registered voter in Lancaster County, be sure to register so you can vote in this and all elections.  You can request an absentee ballot by contacting the Lancaster County Board of Voter Registration and Elections.

Below are links to the websites of the primary groups on each side of the incorporation issue, as well as documents that have been circulating around the community from various sources.  New items are being added as received, so the quantity of information on each side of the issue may vary at any given time.

The Carolina Gateway newspaper began a series today which compares the "pro" and "con" on various incorporation issues.  Today's topic was "How would incorporation affect law enforcement?"
