Tax raises could lead
to time share battles
PINOPOLIS — Horry
County Council is preparing
for what could become a
legal battle with the time
share and casino boat
industries.
Next month, council will
decide whether to charge
time share units a $3 nightly
fee. And on Tuesday, council
will decide whether to tax
or phase out casino boats
in Conway. Both decisions
could trigger protracted
lawsuits.
The time share industry
opposes what would be
among the first fees of that
kind in the nation. Two
years ago, the council voted
“yes” twice on a $5 nightly
fee on time share units.

One Powerball player
wins biggest jackpot
OMAHA, Neb. — One
person overcame the 1
in-146.1 million odds to
buy a winning Powerball
ticket worth a record $365
million, lottery officials said
early Sunday.
Only one winning ticket
was sold for Saturday’s
jackpot, the largest in
the country’s history, the
Powerball Web site said.
Nebraska Lottery officials
confirmed a winning
ticket was sold in Lincoln,
spokesman Brian Rockey
said.
They know where it was
sold and will visit the site
early Sunday to verify the
ticket, he said.

Israel halts payments
to Hamas’ Palestine
JERUSALEM — Israel
branded the Palestinian
government a “terrorist
authority” Sunday and
halted the transfer of
hundreds of millions of
dollars in tax money after
Hamas took control of the
Palestinian parliament.
But the Israeli government
held off on adopting even
more drastic measures
recommended by security
officials, mindful of possible
international reaction.
The sanctions came as
the Palestinian militant
group worked to form a
government, nominating
one of its more pragmatic
leaders, Ismail Haniyeh, to
be the new prime minister.
