A bill by Rep. Paul D. Folk, D-Newberry, to consolidate 50 precincts into 33 was given sec ond reading in the House on Tuesday. In the Senate, it would need Griffith’s nod to pass. “I thought he was going to run for reelection until I saw this bill,” Griffith said of his Democratic House colleague. Griffith said he would “take the bill home with me,” an in dication that it will die this year. The Newberry Senator said everybody he has talked with affected by the precinct con solidation is opposed to it. Be sides, he says, he sees no ben efit in it. Griffith said he would be willing to abolish any precinct which wants to be abolished. Folk had said that consoli dation carries out recommenda tions of the County Democratic Executive Committee to elim inate smaller precincts. Griffith observed, “that’s an other thing. The Republican Executive Committee was not consulted on any precinct changes.” Neither did Folk con fer with him on the changes, Griffith said. The Senator noted that Folk wants to consolidate Wheeland precinct, which voted 59-1 ag ainst Folk in favor of his write- in candidate last fall. Folk Tuesday recalled from the Senate another bill which calls for election of two mem bers of the County Board of Commissioners on an at-large basis instead of from districts.
