 Youngblood says once construction costs go down, more affordable housing will come. And a Palmetto State leader beloved by many has passed away. Reverend Mack Torres Hines Jr. died on Thursday in Florence. Hines was a pastor at St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church for 40 years and was well known across the PD area in greater South Carolina. He worked as a teacher in Florence for over 10 years and also spent a decade in the State House of Representatives. For the latter, he received the Order of the Palmetto in 2006.
