It's upsetting and very disheartening to read editorials that go against everything my team and I have worked on for so many years. Tasked with promoting the entire Columbia region, as well as being the central hub for conference, event, restaurant and entertainment information for visitors and locals alike, we strive on a daily basis to do as much as we can to connect individuals with the happenings taking place throughout their city. Some of the events may focus on families, while other focus on business-oriented conferences, but nevertheless, it's valuable information about various events taking place right here in Columbia.
Just last year alone, Columbia played host to hundreds of events, festivals, meetings and conferences including the World Beer Festival, The Nature Conservancy, South Carolina Chamber of Commerce, WNOK's BridalShow, South Carolina Diabetes Advisory Council, Winston's Wish Foundation, Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization, The Palmetto Freedom Forum (with many presidential candidates), AME Church National Conference (with President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia), Social Crush and many more. This list barely skims the surface of the diverse events that have taken place here in Columbia over the last year. Many of these events sought out proactive University of South Carolina students to intern or volunteer and allowed them the opportunity to gain beneficial experience for their future career choices.

The ban does not exist statewide; only five cities in South Carolina have similar laws in place. One is Clemson, which has had a ban in place since 2010. Yet according to The Greenville News, police officers have only written about 10 tickets. Are these bans actually doing anything to stop texting and driving in South Carolina cities?
