*History

A few of us met in late 2001 to explore the merits of forming a Growth Impact Action Committee (GIAC) to find and vigorously support Horry County candidates who shared our homeowners/communities perspective.  While our little group was in accord with the proposed GIAC objectives, it did not favor forming yet another traditional organization with scheduled meetings. Accordingly, this Web site was set up to provide an Internet clearing house for information. Now it also reports and comments on national issues under the name George's Information and Comments.
