Local environmental advocates report that the Black River in the Pee Dee basin shows dangerous PFAS levels that far exceed EPA standards and may harm fish and wildlife—while lawsuits target only drinking water sources, community groups plan a meeting in May to urge tighter state rules.

Sen. Stephen Goldfinch introduced a bill on April 22 to criminalize coercive control nearly a year after Mica Miller died on April 27, 2024—defining the offense as repeated behavior that causes mental distress and fear of violence, punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a $10,000 fine. Previous bills on the issue failed, and supporters hope this proposal gains momentum in the legislative session.
