Just in from Columbia

The South Carolina Judicial Merit Selection Commission deems qualified and nominated the three finalists for Seat 3, State Supreme Court.  The list includes Greenville resident and former Senecan Letitia Hamilton Verdin.  She, along with two others — Blake Hewitt of Conway and Jocelyn Newman of Columbia — is now free to seek or accept commitments from the state lawmakers who will decide who fills the seat in a June 5 election.
