SC State Senator Withdraws Objection to State Fossil Bill
State Sen. Mike Fair said he withdrew his objection to a bill that would make the Columbian mammoth the official state fossil after he learned that a school child had put in so much work to urge legislators to adopt it.
“I’ll vote for the bill standalone, and I appreciate the young girl,” Fair told The Greenville News. “And maybe through the whole matter paleontology will get a little bit more emphasis, and maybe people will do some more reading.”
“But not too much more reading, or they’ll realize what an ignorant dumbass I am”.
