Letters: Stop favoring special interests

Fort Worth Star-Telegram

It appears from Cindi Scoppe’s May 23 column (“Should we subsidize pensions for 11 lobbying groups?”) that various pseudo state governmental entities are available to assist seniors. As a native South Carolinian in my 70s, I am not aware of any state agency that has ever assisted me. We need to drain the South Carolina swamp so we can have money for roads, education, medical care, etc.
