In Sumter, TV is really the straw that stirs the drink. It is the major source of jobs, taxes, and votes in the county. In Sumter, you know your Commissioners personally, regularly seeing them on the Squares or at about any public gathering. Law enforcement and other county officials routinely speak at neighborhood and club meetings. You're just more a part of the county in Sumter. And your street name isn't 75 characters long.
