But description complete in all other ways

COLUMBIA, 5/16/13 (Beat Byte) -- An eminent domain threat that has loomed large in the debate about how to widen Providence Road has been left out of a public hearing notice that provides otherwise complete details about three road-improvement options.

Renters have no say when or how their homes are searched

COLUMBIA, 5/14/13 (Beat Byte) -- A notarized application for a so-called "rental occupancy permit" under Columbia city ordinance demands landlords sign away not only their Constitutional right to protection from unwarranted search, but their tenants' right as well.
