ORANGEBURG — Ten gubernatorial candidates managed not to blow too much hot air Tuesday as they took on an issue rarely raised on the campaign trail but of pivotal importance to the Lowcountry: the fusion of conservation and economic development. Starting Wednesday afternoon, you can watch the archived debate on ETV's web site. This comes at a time when the tug-of-war over federal climate change legislation is about to become front and center and the Charleston community works to preserve its resources as the aeronautics industry sprouts around Boeing Co.’s Dreamliner assembly line. The S.C. Natural Resources Society provided a forum along with ETV for “The Big Picture Election Special: Spotlight on the Candidates” at Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College, exactly one year before the state’s next governor is elected. A crowd of about 250 gathered for the 90-minute debate. The candidates played up the need for leadership without making lofty and empty promises. They also worked to show how they stood apart from the field.
