Dear Cody:

Congratulations to you and your staff on a job well done with your special section that documented the growth of Cherokee County over the past decade. It was very informative.

The aftermath of the courthouse fire is a good example of why the community is a special place. Sheriff Blanton, Gaffney Police Chief John O'Donald, Court Clerk Brandy McBee and other local government leaders helped us through a difficult time.

Thank you for everything you and your staff do to document the important happenings in the community.

Regards,

Trey Gowdy

Solicitor 7th Judicial Circuit State of South Carolina
