Recently the governor of South Carolina has been praised for bringing jobs to the state. These jobs come in the form of a tire manufacturing plant. This industry is known for its pollutants, which will just add to
South Carolina's sulfur dioxide pollution problem. Recent regulations from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency have the chairman of the state Department of Health and Environmental Control board concerned that industries may not choose to locate in the state of South Carolina. The solution to this problem is not a short term solution, yet one that requires much time to develop. Richard Clapp suggests that the state improve the education system in order to cut down on ill-informed citizens that are eager to work for heavily polluting plants like South Carolina's newest tire manufacturing plant.
