    Done in a day: SC House sprints through $14 billion budget
    The South Carolina House approved the state's $14 billion budget in one day with little debate over big ticket items. The House voted 108-7 late Monday to give the budget key approval. They plan to return to the chamber for routine final approval Tuesday morning, sending it on to the Senate. There was only about three hours of debate, almost on all items voted down like stricter abortion rules or not paying for a state health card that some worried could be used as a COVID-19 vaccine passport. The budget provides $1 billion for roads and raises for all state employees and most teachers and state law enforcement officers.

    'Gold mine' of census records being released from 1950
    Genealogists and historians can get a microscopic look at sweeping historical trends when individual records from the 1950 census are released this week. Researchers view the records that will be released Friday as a gold mine, and amateur genealogists see it as a way to fill gaps in family trees. The records will be indexed into a searchable website. The digitized forms have information about household members' names, race, sex, age, address, occupation, hours worked in the previous week, salary, education, marital status and the country where their parents were born. The records couldn't be released for confidentiality reasons until 72 years after they were gathered by census takers knocking on every home in the U.S.
