10 years of avoiding transparency
News
Charleston entrepreneur Tom Crowley is on a mission to end single-use plastic pollution by convincing businesses to switch to straws that break down organically in just two months.
“The goal is to increase awareness about high quality compostable materials as a healthier alternative to single-use plastics that can be sourced here in the USA, right in our own backyard.”
Crowley’s business, named The Last Straw, has been open for one year and has already grown to serve about 50 Charleston-area businesses, most of which are restaurants and bars.
It offers straws made from a plantbased material called PHA that is federally approved for food contact. The straws decompose within two months of being thrown away. In use, they maintain the feel of regular plastic straws that customers are used to. But unlike paper straws, they don’t get soggy or fall apart.
“Plastics in the marine environment are especially bad,” said Charleston Waterkeeper Andrew Wunderley. “There’s a lot of locally done research that shows in four to six weeks, regular plastic in the waste stream starts to degrade into microplastics.
“Once they’re microplastics, they’re impossible to remove, and they’re also taken up into the food web. Small organisms will

eat them, and so on until they end up in the seafood we eat.”
Looking for alternatives
Will Stone, manager of Heavy’s on Morrison Drive, said other sustainable straws — flimsy paper straws — didn’t work well at his business. But those from The Last Straw are performing the job.
“Our customers were using two or three straws while they were here,” he said. “We realized what was going on — the paper straws would fall apart on them. We want to be sustainable, but the other straw options weren’t cutting it.”
While Crowley said he supports reducing plastic waste, he recognizes that eliminating straws entirely isn’t realistic.
“It would be great if people didn’t use straws altogether. I’m for whatever helps the environment,” he said. “I don’t think that is going to happen, so I want to provide a good
businesses will be willing to switch to.”
To make the switch easier for businesses, Crowley offers price-beat guarantees and free shipping.
Even in production, sustainability remains the priority. The company’s manufacturing machines run on electricity, and while deliveries currently rely on gasoline, he hopes to switch to an electric vehicle in the future.
Crowley said he has already started expanding beyond Charleston and wants to grow as much as possible. He’s committed to staying at the forefront of sustainable technology and recently introduced a new cellulose acetate straw made from wood pulp that is backyard compostable and USA-sourced.
Enforcing the ban
While the city of Charleston has a singleuse plastic ban, Crowley and Wunderley said they worried about enforcement.
“Every community around Charleston, except for North Charleston, has a single-use plastic ban,” Wunderley said. “Compliance with an ordinance like this is always an issue, and I think it’s up to the public and local governments to make sure those ordinances are being enforced and

‘Stagflation’
is concern for Trump tariffs
By Jack O’Toole
VOTED BEST DANCE CLUB
President Donald Trump’s on-again, offagain tariff announcements over the past few weeks have some experts using a dirty word most Americans haven’t heard since the darkest economic days of the 1970s. Stagflation.
For those too young to remember, “stagflation” was the term coined to describe the rare and exceedingly painful combination of low growth and high inflation that plagued the U.S. economy after the price of oil rose roughly tenfold between 1973 and 1979. Put simply, Americans were getting poorer, and prices were rising at the same time.
And economists say they’re starting to see similar conditions emerge today.
“Directionally, it is stagflation,” Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, told CNBC recently. “It’s higher inflation and weaker economic growth that is the result of policy — tariff policy and immigration policy.”
University of South Carolina economist Joseph Von Nessen agrees that stagflation is a possibility, though he notes Trump’s tariffs have so far been negotiating ploys rather than fully implemented policies. For instance, in just the past week, Trump announced 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods — only to suspend them days later.
“Stagflation is a possibility, if we see tariffs as they’ve been proposed,” Von Nessen told Statehouse Report in a March 6 interview. “Because in that case, you’d be talking about a scenario in which tariffs would be
putting upward pressure on inflation at the same time we’ve seen a pullback in economic growth.”
In fact, Von Nessen explained, just the threat of tariffs is contributing to that pullback, due to the climate of uncertainty it creates for businesses and investors.
“Uncertainty breeds paralysis because it prevents businesses from being able to make long-run strategic decisions,” he said. “It causes them to go into wait-and-see mode and can temporarily postpone investment decisions.”
It’s that mix of slowed investment and the possibility of higher prices due to tariffs that has economists talking about stagflation. And South Carolina’s economy, they say, offers a useful example of how it could happen.
Tariff impacts on S.C. factories and farms
To understand the impacts of tariffs, experts say it helps to demystify the subject by calling them what they really are: taxes on imported goods. So if a 25% tariff were imposed on, say, Canadian lumber, which is widely used in the U.S. market, that tax would be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices for lumber-intensive products like houses.
But for S.C. factories and farms, which exported almost $40 billion in products around the world last year, from SUVs to soybeans, that’s only half of the story.
A West Ashley woman on March 4 reportedly stole about $500 worth of wallets, purses and bags by hiding the smaller ones inside the larger ones, police said. Charleston police arrested her for shoplifting. But really, we wish we could have seen the look on the security officer when he started unraveling the bags like a Russian birthday party magician.
Dude, just be cool
Mount Pleasant police on March 1 pulled over a man driving on U.S. Highway 17 for having an expired tag. But when police approached the driver, he said that he knew he was in trouble for driving without insurance. During the stop, the officer also discovered a suspended driver’s license and marijuana in the car, too. Yeah, no warnings this time, man.
Shedding bottles
North Charleston police on March 8 arrested an apparently drunken man after finding him stumbling near the Rivers Avenue roadway. During the arrest, an empty bottle of vodka fell from his clothing. Where he was hiding it — and why he decided to keep the empty bottle on him in the first place — will remain mysteries.

PechaKucha 47 offers creative spurts of inspiration
By Andy Brack
Nine members of Charleston’s creative community will ignite the minds of people attending PechaKucha 47 at 7 p.m. March 18 by sharing what inspires them.
“PechaKucha” is a Japanese phrase that means “chit chat.” Started in Tokyo in 2003, the presentations morphed through the years into a global conversation platform now represented in more than 1,300 communities, including Charleston, which will host its 47th version at Charleston Music Hall.
“The city’s PechaKucha 47 will bring an array of distinctive presenters, such as Luke Shirley of Quest in fostering mental and physical health for area collegians, Angel Holmes and her chameleon-like transformations since the founding of the Wine + Food Festival and the Ross brothers of Peculiar Pig Farms,” said PK organizer Terry Fox of the Charleston Arts Festival.
Here’s how PechaKucha works: Audience members watch eight presentations that blend 20 slides shown each for just 20 seconds by a presenter or presenters. In 400 seconds (it goes by quicker than you might expect), presenters are supposed to share what inspires them and get audience members to think in new ways.
The results often are magical as lis-

The other half is the retaliatory tariffs foreign countries would then place on U.S. exports, creating a double-whammy for S.C. exporters: higher costs for the imported goods they use in their products, and higher taxes on those products when they reach global consumers.
“South Carolina is an export-oriented manufacturing state,” Von Nessen said. “So, any retaliatory tariffs would affect [exporters’] cost structure and demand for their products.”
teners get sucked into what stirs and spurs poets, writers, chefs, artists, comedians, photographers and other creatives to do what they do.
The March 18 event will showcase these presenters:
• Nakeisha Daniel, educator, actor and founder of The Well Theatre;
• Luke Shirley, founder of Quest;
• Tonya Nicole, vocalist and actor;
• Lee Barbour, musician, producer, composer and owner of Black Label Event Music;
• Sean Gallagher, artist and graphic designer;
• Geoff Yost, director of marketing and communication, Spoleto Festival USA;
• Angel Holmes, founder of Like Minded CHS; and
• Marvin and Jada Ross, owner and lead farmer of Peculiar Pig Farm.
Longtime DJ Josh Silverman (Professor Ping) will spin tunes. Lydia Chernicoff, founder and artistic director of New Muse Concerts and a veteran of PK 39, will serve as emcee. According to the PK47 website, New Muse Concerts presents classical and contemporary chamber repertoire in the context of diverse musical traditions, exploring the interplay between them and telling
But again, Von Nessen urges caution in assessing the impacts, noting that there would be winners in addition to losers if Trump’s tariffs were implemented. For instance, some investors might be tempted to expand S.C. production to serve the domestic market.
Nevertheless, on balance, he says that higher tariffs would be likely to hurt more S.C. producers than they help.
“What economists have found historically is that the costs tend to outweigh the benefits by a wide margin,” he said.
Impacts on small businesses and consumers
While trade discussions tend to focus on major corporations in the Palmetto State like Boeing, BMW and Michelin, S.C. Small Business Chamber of Commerce President Frank Knapp says he’s most concerned about the state’s small retailers and manufacturers.
“Small businesses don’t have a voice in this, but we’ll probably incur the most financial harm,” Knapp told Statehouse Report on March 6. “They just don’t have the ability

to absorb a massive tax increase, so they’ll have to increase prices, which most can’t, or cut employee hours and jobs.”
And those employees, he notes, are also S.C. consumers, which means they’ll be facing higher taxes on everything from houses to cars to groceries at the same time they have less money to spend, slowing the state’s economic growth.
And that’s the same toxic mix that led to stagflation in the 1970s.
Still, Von Nessen warns against overreading the moment, particularly given Trump’s tendency to walk back his most extreme policy announcements.
“We really just don’t know how this is going to play out yet or where we’re going to settle long-term on these tariffs,” he said.
“But it’s fair to say that the larger they are and the longer they’re in place, the bigger the impacts will be.”
“It would be great to have it more strictly enforced, but it’s not my responsibility. I’m not here to be a watchdog. I’m not going to report anyone not following the mandate.
“The businesses want to become more sustainable — I’m just here to make it as easy as possible for them.”

Time for sunshine to disinfect secrecy in Cogswell administration
ere’s a fun fact for Sunshine Week, the time each year in March when newspapers across the country shine bright lights on the importance of government transparency and public records: We’ve got a secrecy problem in Charleston.
Charleston Mayor William Cogswell, now well into his second year in office, still hasn’t sat down for an interview with the Charleston City Paper — despite repeated requests. His spokesperson, Deja McMillan, told us in November 2023 that the City Paper just wasn’t a priority for the mayor.
And lately, McMillan hasn’t answered any of our questions, again despite repeated requests. And consider this: She gets paid $125,000 a year by Charleston taxpayers to — wait for it — answer media questions.
So only the City Paper is getting the cold shoulder, right?
Nope. This past January, Cogswell also refused to sit down with The Post and Courier to answer questions about his first year in City Hall. Instead, the newspaper was told to submit written questions by email to his public relations team. After all, who wants to sit down for a probing interview on the toughest issues residents are dealing with — flooding, traffic, affordable housing, public safety — when you can just serve up the occasional fluffy TV sound bite?
Of course, it’s not just pesky reporters who are being kept in the dark.
By longstanding tradition, Charleston’s mayor is supposed to stand up every January and deliver a report to city council and residents on the state of the city. But for the past two Januaries, Cogswell has delivered silence instead.
Well, not complete silence — if you count the glossy social media videos starring Cogswell that his former campaign media
team now churns out at taxpayer expense. Of course, controlling the message is a lot easier than actually holding yourself accountable by answering tough questions and delivering progress reports to residents.
So this brings us back to Sunshine Week, and why government transparency is worth fighting for — this week and every week.
Spoiler alert: It’s all about accountability. Because citizens don’t just have a right, but a need to know what their government is up to.
And using information gleaned from the public record and through incisive media reporting has forced enough accountability for people to kill any number of truly awful government ideas over the past few years — from the S.C. Port Authority’s original plan to wildly overdevelop Union Pier to Charleston County’s destructive and bank-breaking I-526 extension.
And you can bet people will kill the next bad idea, too — but only if they know about it in time.
That’s why the city of Charleston’s recent turn to secrecy is so troubling — and why we’re highlighting it this Sunshine Week.
Cogswell will make mistakes — not because he’s a bad man or even a bad mayor, but because he’s human. The question is whether Charleston City Council and city residents will hear about those inevitable missteps in time to protect everyone — including Cogswell — from the consequences.
So during this Sunshine Week, we’ll close with a plea we’ve made before: Please, Mr. Mayor, give transparency a try. Let your citizens see more Prince William — and less Backroom Billy. Because the old saying is true: Sunshine really is the best disinfectant.
CHARLESTON CHECKLIST of community objectives
We encourage community leaders to act on these audacious priorities:
1. Deal with the water. Build a strong resiliency plan to harden infrastructure and make smart climate change decisions about development, roads and quality of life.
2. Fix roads, traffic. Repair and improve roads and reduce traffic. Speed up alternatives, including more public transportation.
3. Be smarter about education. Inject new energy into the broken Charleston County school board by focusing on kids, not national mantras.
4. Conduct public business in public. Be transparent in public business. Stop the secrecy.
5. Invest in quality of life. Build more parks. Have more festivals. Invest in infrastructure that promotes a broad sense of community.
6. Engage in real racial conciliation. If we embark on more conversations and actions on racial reconciliation, our community will strengthen and grow.
7. Develop fewer hotels, more affordable housing. Make Charleston a more affordable place to live for everyone.
8. Develop Union Pier at scale. Let’s not put ship-sized buildings on the coveted Union Pier property downtown. Instead, make what comes appropriate.
9. Build and follow a 50-year plan. Plan for the county’s long-term future and follow the plan.
10. Pay people more. Pay a living wage. Push South Carolina lawmakers to set a real minimum wage.

This session’s Statehouse craziness rates a 7 out of 10
By Andy Brack
About this time every year, the South Carolina General Assembly has been in session long enough to figure out the craziness trajectory of the year.
On a scale of 1 (not crazy) to 10 (nutso), this year is probably a 7. But lawmakers still have a couple of months left to startle, amaze and polarize us.
Right off the bat is the Republican obsession with diversity, equity and inclusion, which they minimize by using yet another acronym, DEI. For some reason, creating opportunities for all and treating people fairly has become an anathema to the mostly-white, Christian nationalist Republican party.
Making headlines these days is a bill that would prohibit state agencies, including colleges and universities, from “promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.” And while that may sound ominous but not horrible, it is, in fact, Orwellian in that it would keep all government bodies in the state, including city councils and school districts, from “contracting with any company with DEI programs. Even the subcontractors would have to certify they don’t operate such programs,” according to one analysis.
What’s really crazy is to think about what that actually means — state agencies that work to bring big companies to the state couldn’t actually do business with those companies if they have DEI policies. And state and local governments also couldn’t do business with existing in-state powerhouses like BMW, Michelin, Milliken and Bosch. Although more than 70 of the House’s 88 Republicans are co-sponsors, the bill’s trajectory is unclear as a House committee took no action on March 4 after five hours of testimony that mostly opposed the measure. Perhaps something less onerous will result.
Some GOP lawmakers are pushing now for what amounts to a total abortion ban, without exceptions for rape and incest.
Meanwhile, the House continued its annual tradition of trying to outdo itself on abortion. Some GOP lawmakers are pushing now for what amounts to a total abortion ban, without exceptions for rape and incest — even though leaders of the Republican caucus are asking them to slow down and wait to see what courts say about the constitutionality of a similar measure under consideration. If you’re trying to understand what’s going on, the argument highlights a schism in the GOP in which uber-conservatives are looking for ways to tar and feather more moderate Republicans to get culture war votes to pillory fellow caucus members on the 2026 campaign trail.
Next on the legislative list is the continuing plea by bars and restaurants for lawmakers to do something about the skyrocketing cost of liquor liability insurance that is putting some of them out of business.
State senators, who have been fiddling unsuccessfully with solutions for a couple of years, are considering one broad measure that would “reform” the state’s tort system — even though they’ve messed with that for two decades to take away regular people’s rights to recover in myriad ways.
But that measure may be on life support, the S.C. Daily Gazette reports, because it deals with too many issues. The S.C. House recently approved a narrower measure focused on places that serve alcohol. GOP House leaders also said they’d form a study committee to deal with the bigger issues — a signal that they’ll fight over the scope of any big bill from the Senate.
As conservative officials in Washington mess with the scope of government by fiddling with everything from national parks and foreign aid to tariffs that are expected to make things cost more, be on the lookout for Columbia lawmakers to govern in the same spirit. Already being discussed are so-called government efficiency measures, an anti-vaccine mandate, reshaping charter school guidelines, book bans and more.
Meanwhile, protests are picking up — with more than 500 people gathering in early March in Charleston to rail against harsh federal proposals and scores more who lined up to attend an abortion bill hearing in Columbia.
Maybe the GOP in South Carolina soon will start remembering its own wails and moans from a generation ago when conservatives thought less government intrusion in people’s lives was better. Wouldn’t that be radical?

Join a CSA to help save the Lowcountry
By Toni Reale, special to City Paper
As the promise of spring fills the air, local farmers markets are beginning to pop up again, bringing fresh seasonal produce back into our kitchens.
For many, a weekly trip to the market is more than just grocery shopping — it’s a beloved ritual and a welcome reprieve from the fluorescent lights and crowded aisles of big-box stores. Markets like the Sunday Brunch Farmers Market on James Island and the North Charleston Farmers Market in Park Circle offer more than just produce. With live music, local art and a vibrant community atmosphere, they provide an opportunity to turn a quick errand into a leisurely morning outing where you see neighbors or discover something new.
Another way to support local farms and enjoy the freshest food possible is by joining a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. A CSA is essentially a farm share, giving members regular access to just-harvested fruits, vegetables, meats and other locally produced goods straight from the source. Many offer weekly or monthly subscriptions and base the amount of your share on the number of people in your household. Beyond convenience, joining a CSA offers a wealth of benefits. CSAs support small farms, promote healthier eating, introduce members to new ingredients, keep the local economy thriving and even help to curb overdevelopment.
Among health benefits, locally grown produce is harvested at peak ripeness, so each bite contains more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants compared to produce that has been picked before it’s ready, traveled long distances (many times internationally) and spent days or weeks in storage. Additionally, due to the shorter transit times of local produce, there’s no reason to wax coat or use preservatives. Most local farms are organic or nearly organic, meaning they don’t use as many pesticides and chemicals that could find their way into our bodies and waterways.
Investing in a CSA or going to the farmers markets helps sustain small-scale agriculture, keeping food dollars within the community and supporting local employment.
Local farmers also are more likely to raise animals on pasture rather than on traditional factory farm feedlots. Grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork and free-range poultry contain higher levels of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and lower levels of unhealthy fats. Lastly, all locally produced produce and meat just tastes better!
There are economic benefits, too. Investing in a CSA or going to the farmers markets helps sustain small-scale agriculture, keeping food dollars within the community and supporting local employment. Every dollar spent has a huge impact on the local economy. With grocery prices soaring, CSAs provide a great opportunity to save. Although the prices might not always be less expensive, you certainly waste less with a CSA rather than throwing away excess from those giant packs of produce they sell you at big box stores. CSAs often also employ sustainable farming practices that reduce chemical usage and promote biodiversity. Additionally, local distribution minimizes transportation emissions, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint. Our local pollinators need habitat and farm land provides just that. The Charleston area has grown exponentially and there’s no way to stop that train from coming unless we value and protect local farmland.
How to join a CSA program
There are lots of options here in the Lowcountry and it’s not a one-sizefits-all approach. Do your research to find out which program will best fit your needs and lifestyle. If a CSA isn’t for you, search your local farmer’s markets and also Lowcountry Street Grocer.
A great place to start looking for a CSA is on the S.C. Department of Agriculture’s website. Currently listed are Rooting Down Farms, Spade and Clover Gardens, The Green Heart Project, Vital Missions Farms, Legare Farms, Lowland Farms and Wando River Farm. There are other farms that may be offering a CSA such as Joseph Fields Farm and Ambrose.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION
The games governments play
By Dave Maass
10 years of avoiding transparency
In 2015, we witnessed the launch of OpenAI, a debate over the color of a dress going viral and a U.S. Supreme Court decision that same-sex couples have the right to get married. It was also the year that the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) first published The Foilies, an annual report of tongue-in-cheek “awards” to government agencies and officials that respond outrageously when a member of the public tries to access public records through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or similar laws.
A lot has changed over the last decade, but one thing that hasn’t is the steady flow of attempts by authorities to avoid their legal and ethical obligations to be open and accountable. Sometimes, these cases are intentional, but just as often, they are due to incompetence or straight-up half-assedness. Over the years, EFF has teamed up with MuckRock to document and ridicule these FOIA failures and transparency trip-ups. And through a partnership with AAN Publishers, of which the Charleston City Paper is a member, we have named-andshamed the culprits in weekly newspapers and on indie news sites across the United States in celebration of Sunshine Week, an annual event raising awareness of the role access to public records plays in a democracy. This year, we reflect on the most absurd and frustrating winners from the last 10 years as we prepare for the next decade, which may even be more terrible for government transparency.
Most Infuriating FOIA Fee
U.S. Department of Defense (2016 Winner)
Under FOIA, federal agencies are able to charge “reasonable” fees for producing copies of records. But sometimes agencies fabricate enormous price tags to pressure the requester to drop the query. In 2015, Martin Peck asked the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to disclose the number of “HotPlug” devices (tools used to preserve data on seized computers) it had purchased. The DOD said it would cost $660 million and 15 million labor hours
(over 1,712 years) because its document system wasn’t searchable by keyword and staff would have to comb through 30 million contracts by hand.
RUNNERS-UP:
City of Seattle (2019 Winner): City officials quoted a member of the public $33 million for metadata for every email sent in 2017, but ultimately reduced the fee to $40.
Rochester (Mich.) Community Schools District (2023 Winner): A group of parents critical of the district’s remotelearning plan requested records to see whether the district was spying on their social media. One parent was told to cough up $18,641,345 for the records, because the district would have to sift through every email.
Willacy County (Texas) Sheriff’s Office (2016 Winner): When the Houston Chronicle asked for crime data, the sheriff sent it an itemized invoice that included $98.40 worth of Wite-Out — the equivalent of 55 bottles — to redact 1,016 pages of records.
Most Reprehensible Reprisal Against a Requester White Castle, La. (2017 Winner)
Chris Nakamoto, at the time a reporter for WBRZ, filed a public records request to probe the White Castle mayor’s salary. But when he went down to check on some missing records, he was handcuffed, placed in a holding cell and charged with the crime of “remaining after being forbidden.” He was summoned to appear before the “Mayor’s Court” in a judicial proceeding presided over by none other than the same mayor he was investigating. The charges were dropped two months later.
RUNNERS-UP:
Jack White (2015 Winner): One of the rare non-government Foilies winners, the White Stripes guitarist verbally abused University of Oklahoma student journalists and announced he wouldn’t play at the school anymore. The reason? The student newspaper, OU Daily, obtained and published White’s contract for a campus performance, which included his nolonger-secret guacamole recipe, a bowl of which was demanded in his rider. Richlands, Va. (2024 Winner): Resident Laura Mollo used public records laws to investigate problems with the 911 system and, in response, experienced intense harassment from the city and its contractors, including the police pulling her over and the city appointing a special prosecutor to investigate her. On separate occasions, Morro even says she found her mailbox filled with spaghetti and manure.
Most Ridiculous Redaction Federal Bureau of Investigation
(2015 Winner)
Brad Heath, who in 2014 was a reporter at USA Today, got a tip that a shady figure had possibly attended an FBI retirement party.
So he filed a request for the guest list and pictures taken at the event. In response, the FBI sent a series of surreal photos of the attendees, hugging, toasting and posing awkwardly, but all with polygonal redactions covering their faces like some sort of mutant, Minecraft family reunion.
RUNNER-UP:
U.S. Southern Command (2023 Winner): Investigative journalist Jason Leopold obtained scans of paintings by detainees at Guantanamo Bay, which were heavily redacted under the claim that the art would disclose law enforcement information that could “reasonably be expected to risk circumvention of the law.”
Worst Federal Agency of the Decade Federal Bureau of Investigation
Bashing the FBI has come back into vogue among certain partisan circles in recent years, but we’ve been highlighting the feds since long before it was trendy.
The agency received eight Foilies over the last decade, more than any other entity, but the FBI’s hostility towards FOIA goes back

much further. In 2021, the Cato Institute uncovered records showing that, since at least 1989, the FBI had been spying on the National Security Archive, a nonprofit watchdog that keeps an eye on the intelligence community. The FBI’s methods included physical and electronic surveillance. The records show the FBI specifically cited the organization’s “tenacity” in using FOIA.
Cato’s Patrick G. Eddington reported it took 11 months for the FBI to produce those records, but that’s actually relatively fast for the agency. We highlighted a 2009 FOIA request that the FBI took 12 years to fulfill: Bruce Alpert of the Times-Picayune asked for records regarding the corruption case of U.S. Rep. William Jefferson, but by the time he received the 84 pages in 2021, the reporter had retired. Similarly, when
George Washington University professor and documentary filmmaker Nina Seavey asked the FBI for records related to surveillance of antiwar and civil rights activists, the FBI told her it would take 17 years to provide the documents. When the agency launched an online system for accepting FOIA requests, it somehow made the process even more difficult.
The FBI was at its worst when attempting to use non-disclosure agreements to keep local law enforcement agencies from responding to public records requests regarding the use of cell phone surveillance technologies called cell-site simulators, or “stingrays.” The agency even went so far as to threaten agencies that release technical information to media organizations with up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine,
claiming it would be a violation of the Arms Export Control Act.
But you don’t have to take our word for it: Even Micky Dolenz of The Monkees had to sue the FBI to get records on how agents collected intelligence on the 1960s band.
Worst Local Jurisdiction of the Decade Chicago, Ill.
Over the last decade, The Foilies have called out officials at all levels of government and in every part of the country (and even in several other countries), but time and time again, one city keeps demonstrating special antagonism to the idea of freedom of information: the Windy City.
In fact, the most ridiculous justification for ignoring transparency obligations we
ever encountered was proudly championed by now-former Mayor Lori Lightfoot during the Covid-19 lockdown in April 2020. She offered a bogus choice to Chicagoans: the city could either process public records requests or provide pandemic response, falsely claiming that answering these requests would pull epidemiologists off the job. According to the Chicago Tribune, she implied that responding to FOIA requests would result in people having to “bury another grandmother.” She even invoked the story of Passover, claiming that the “angel of death is right here in our midst every single day” as a reason to suspend FOIA deadlines.
If we drill down on Chicago, there’s one agency that seems to take particular pleasure in screwing the public: the Chicago Police Department (CPD). In 2021, CPD was nominated so many times (for withholding records of search warrants, a list of names of police officers and body-worn camera footage from a botched raid) that we just threw up our hands and named them “The Hardest Department to FOIA” of the year.
In one singularly nasty case, CPD had mistakenly raided the home of an innocent woman and handcuffed her while she was naked and did not allow her to dress. Later, the woman filed a FOIA request for the body-worn camera footage and had to sue to get it. But CPD didn’t leave it there: the city’s lawyers tried to block a TV station from airing the video and then sought sanctions against the woman’s attorney.
If you thought these were some doozies, check out The Foilies 2025 at citypapercharleston.com to read the beginning of a new decade’s worth of FOIA horror stories.

Celebrate Pi Day with pies around town
By Connelly Hardaway
Happy Pi Day to all who celebrate. While we cannot claim to understand the mathematical constant that is Pi (3.14159 for those who also skipped math class), we do understand pies.
Whether you’re searching for a classic, sweet Lowcountry treat, such as pecan pie or a savory tomato version (another Lowcountry staple), this roundup of area pies is all you need to stay stuffed. You’ll also find some outliers on this list, including shepherd’s pie (what better way to celebrate St. Paddy’s?) and hand pies from local bakeries. Enjoy!
Hank’s Seafood’s key lime and Southern pecan pies
Finish off your meal at Hank’s with one of two decadent pies. The Southern pecan is made with bourbon (we love to see it) and topped with whipped cream. Things get tropical with the key lime pie, served with a mango, raspberry and sour cream coulis.
Magnolias’ Southern pecan pie
At classic downtown restaurant Magnolias, best known for its fried green tomatoes and shrimp and grits, you bet you’re going to find a Southern pecan pie. The restaurant’s iteration is served with bourbon caramel, vanilla bean ice cream and a praline lace cookie. Chic!
Swig & Swine’s variety of pies
Barbecue joint Swig & Swine has more than a few tasty pies on its menu. Perhaps the most popular of the bunch is the Nutter Butter pie, named after the peanut butter sandwich cookie. Guests can also dig into coconut pie, chocolate cream pie and chocolate bourbon pecan pie.
Kaminsky’s Dessert Cafe’s wide variety
You can order a variety of pies by the slice at Kaminsky’s — from coconut cream, key lime and tollhouse cookie flavors to a rotating roster of mousse and fruit pies.
Snag savory and sweet pies all over town — like Magnolias’ Southern pecan pie, served with bourbon caramel, vanilla bean ice cream and a praline lace cookie
Carmella’s Cafe and Dessert Bar’s key lime dessert
While it may be difficult to choose just one sweet treat at Carmella’s, you can’t go wrong with the classic key lime pie. Made with a graham cracker crust, it’s the perfect balance between sweet and tangy.
WildFlour’s variety of flaky tastes
Snag both sweet and savory pies at uberpopular West Ashley bakery WildFour Pastry. The Charleston City Paper recently followed owner Lauren Mitterer and her team during a day at the bakery, where Mitterer described herself as “a conductor in an orchestra” in the busy shop. Customers can choose from pies like pecan, chocolate cream, coconut cream, key lime, pluff mud, fruit and more. Take the savory route with a pimento cheese tomato pie or a selection of hand pies.
Glass Onion’s chocolate peanut butter pie
This West Ashley staple serves up a variety of indulgent desserts, including a chocolate peanut butter pie served with local honey — snag a slice after your meal or take a full pie home to enjoy later. Bonus points for the restaurant’s pie-adjacent treats: tarts! You can take home a key lime or bourbon pecan version of those.
Kudzu Bakery’s lots of choices
Take home one of Kudzu Bakery’s staple pies, including pecan, lemon chess, apple
and key lime. You can also grab a seasonal pie depending on the season (of course), like strawberry rhubarb, blueberry, peach, pumpkin and sweet potato.
Stono Market & Tomato Shed Cafe’s tomato pie
With a name like Tomato Shed, this longstanding Johns Island market and cafe is bound to have a killer tomato pie. Enjoy it as a hot side during lunch at the cafe or take one home. Fear not, sweets fans, this market has to-go pies of the apple, peach, blueberry, pecan, chocolate chess and lemon chess variety, too.
Baguette Magic is sweet and savory takeaways
Take and bake sweet and savory pies from Baguette Magic, such as chicken pot pie and shepherd’s pie, as well as mini pecan pies.
The Junction’s tomato onion pie
Head to this Park Circle gem for Mom’s Tomato Onion Pie, made with tomato, onion and four cheeses and served with arugula salad and tomato jam.
Handy & Hot’s hand pies
Vivian Howard’s breakfast-focused concept, Handy & Hot, specializes in hand pies, portable pastries filled with both sweet and savory fillings. Head to the Wentworth Street shop for flavors like Lowcountry boil, Mexican street corn and applejax. Order a batch of a dozen hand pies to take home, too.
What’s new
Dairy Queen opened its first location on James Island last week at 345 Folly Road. The restaurant is open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

Culture
Charleston Stage dusts off Menagerie with aplomb
By Maura Hogan
The late, great Tennessee Williams’s sodubbed memory play, The Glass Menagerie, requires as fine a hand to coax out its abiding luster in many ways as does its character Laura when ministering to her prized collection of fragile glass animal figurines.
Steeped as it is in recognizable Southern characters, like the matriarchal debutante and the booze-fueled wayward writer of a son, it could easily go off the rails with Foghorn Leghorn accents and low-hanging swipes at regional culture. But Williams took the lush, murky stuff of the South and rendered it universally devastating, both the familiar and the familial.
So it was with cautious optimism that I made my way to the Dock Street Theatre for Charleston Stage’s new production of the work, which is deftly directed by the company’s longstanding, now-retired founder Julian Wiles and runs through March 16.
I was greeted by scenic designer Adam Jehle’s impressive, if slightly cramped set representing a none-too-impressive St. Louis apartment adjacent to a nearby blaring jazz club and appointed with all manner of outmoded brown furniture. The stage juts out between a fire escape and terrace that offer the only reprieve from the frequently stultifying air within.
It is home to the three members of the Wingfield family. Amanda is the gastrointestinally-fixated, former Southern deb matriarch. Her son Tom is a would-be writer consigned to pay the rent by trudging each day to his mind-numbing job at a shoe factory. And then there is Laura, an achingly shy shutin whose pleurosis-disfigured leg and social awkwardness all but felled any prospects of a future beyond her current trappings. Ah, but then there is that dimly twinkly light just beyond the rusty fire escapes evocatively flanking the stage. That would be a gentleman caller, a fellow by the name of Jim O’Connor (Luke Shaw). The unwitting former high school athlete works with Tom at the factory, and Amanda is all out
Arts, etc.
Support songwriters at Isle of Palms festival
The third-annual Isle of Palms Songwriters Festival will be held April 12 and April 13. Among the headliners are local favorites April Renee , Terry Glen Adams and Eddie Bush, along with a roster of more than a dozen other artists. The event benefits the Lowcountry Orphan Relief, Girls on the Run Carolina and the Lowcountry Music Scholarship, which gives a $1,000 scholarship to a high school senior who is the winner of a songwriting contest. Learn more at isleofpalmssongwritersfestival.com.
IAAM’s Sankofa Fellowship application deadline nears
to transform a dinner invitation into the means to save Laura from her clear fate. That may well also resurrect the dashed hopes of Amanda, an abandoned wife clinging to her once, and, fingers-crossed, future station in life.
A couple of years back, I might have pronounced that times have largely changed, and that the fate of Southern females is not in the hands of a random dinner guest whose chief attribute is his gender. But a glance at this week’s South Carolina headlines demonstrate, that in this state, a Southern woman’s fate still hangs dangerously in the balance of an Every Bro.
So it makes utter sense for Amanda to deploy her Southern wiles to wrangle a caller, carping on Tom and gussying up Laura to that end. As Amanda, Marybeth Clark, the company’s artistic director, delivers an exquisitely balanced dance between old-school debutant coquettishness and fanged venality, bemoaning the lessened circumstances of her brood while in the next breath lashing out at them, with the rubber-necking audience held masterfully in her matronly grasp, while doling out ample comedic touches, too.
As for the younger generation, they certainly read as far more fresh-faced nubile than I recall them in my young mind’s eye. As Tom, Sam Majors makes up in boyish, affecting charm what he may lack in the way of seasoned gravitas. As Laura, Abigail washes the stage in moon-faced, glistening innocence, as easily shattered as the glass menagerie on which she so clearly projects
her yearning for a finer world. As Jim, Shaw unleashed a short burst of unchecked hope onto the Dock Street stage, the type that can break horns off of Laura’s glass unicorn, and shatter the magic of rare young women, too.
All in all, this absorbing, fine local revival of a seminal American classic is worth calling on. With its transfixing entrée into a sliver of yesteryear, it may today also elicit a shutter of times to come, revisiting an era when women are valued through the prism of their marital prospects, and men who would be poets are rendered irrelevant.
I’m thinking Tennessee Williams may well concur. That would be a modern-day tragedy.
Catch The Glass Menagerie at the Dock Street Theatre until March 16. Tickets from $59.25. charlestonstage.com.

Country legend Allan stages second act
By Vincent Harris
In an age where behemoths like Shania Twain, Garth Brooks and Reba ruled the country music landscape, singer/songwriter Gary Allan quietly amassed an enviable catalog of hits, from “Nothin’ On But The Radio” and “Right Where I Need To Be” to “Best I Ever Had” and “Watching Airplanes.”
Allan scored eight gold and four platinum albums at his commercial peak, mixing heartfelt country ballads with a rock and roll wild hair (see “Get Off On The Pain”) and getting richly rewarded for it.
And even though his crowds are bigger now, after more than a decade off of the charts (more on that in a bit), Allan does have a lot of nostalgia for the days in the late 1990s and early 2000s when Nashville was teeming with promising songwriters. And he has little to no affection for the way things work in Music City today.
“I think it’s all gotten dumbed down,” Allan said. “There used to be a thing called the ‘pitch sheet.’ If George Strait was making a record or if I was, the entire town wrote for that record and pitched songs. Now there are only three or four people writing all these albums, when in the old days you’d have thousands of people writing, and I think you can really hear that the quality has gone down.”
Allan is actually recording a new album right now, his first in four years, working with producer Frank Liddell (Lee Ann Womack), who originally signed Allan back in 1995. He says the album will be half his own material and half other people’s, and that despite the dearth of country songwriters in Nashville, his process for choosing songs hasn’t changed.
“It’s a pretty instinctive reaction. Some of them you get sick of, and some of them
“ If it’s a good song, it gets more obvious when I listen to it later by myself. And then I just picture me singing it.”
—Gary Allan
grow on you even more — I think that’s what gives an album depth,” he said. “If it’s a good song, it gets more obvious when I listen to it later by myself. And then I just picture me singing it. If it has a line that I wouldn’t say, I just pass.”
Regardless of the songs he chooses, Allan has always resisted Nashville polish and easy pop tunes, which might be why he, along with acts that push the boundaries of country, such as Dwight Yoakam (who worked Bakersfield country into his sound) and The Mavericks (who mixed in Latino tunes and grooves), are drawing bigger crowds than ever.
Yoakam and The Mavericks have been touring extensively, reliably pulling in thousands of people even after their albums stopped making the country charts.
“I do think there’s a draw to music like that,” Allan said, “and I also think there’s kind of a ’90s nostalgia thing that the kids are really attracted to right now, too. I haven’t been on the radio in a while and my crowds are still going up.”
It is a bit startling for a man whose last hit was in 2013 to look out in the audience at his shows and see younger faces.
“Typically, my audience is just getting older,” Allan said with a laugh. “They’re
not all 18 anymore for sure. But we’ve got a new audience, too. We’re constantly pulling younger kids. I’m always shocked when I see younger kids in the audience singing my old songs. It’s super cool.”
Of course, it probably helps that Allan and his band have crafted an all-killer, no-filler set list that relies heavily on the 23 singles that he landed on the charts between 1996 and the mid-2010s.
“I try to do a little bit of every album,” Allan said. “I try to keep it really upbeat. I’m kind of locked into most of my set because of the hits that I’ve had. But we’re actually getting ready to go in and change the show. We’re going to discuss the set list, which we do once a year just to try to make things different.”
Regardless of the set list or the age of his crowd, Allan still loves what he does, and the reaction of his audience when he does it.
“I grew up in country bands AND punk bands,” he said, “so I’m all about energy and making it fun. And when you’re watching the crowd, you’re watching memories wash over them. There are people crying. To me, that’s the magic of the shows.”
