SIMPSONVILLE, SC (WSPA) – The City of Simpsonville is consolidating its city hall, police, fire station and administrative offices into one area, at a brand-new municipal complex.
“It is a campus-like setting at the periphery of City Park. The police and city hall will be together in one building. The fire station with admin and fire personnel will all be in one building. So, those are the two city buildings. We are also allocating space for Greenville county to build their summary court building,” said Dianna Gracely, Simpsonville City Administrator.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) – 7NEWS has been hearing from a number of people who say they haven’t received a paycheck for weeks. They all work for a home health care business, called Happy Home Care, in Spartanburg.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Apparently adulterated cocaine killed 17 people and seriously sickened 56 others in Buenos Aires, sending Argentine authorities on a frantic search Wednesday for the remainder of the deadly batch to get it off the streets before it is consumed.
Experts were still analyzing the drug to determine what was in it that caused the deaths. Judicial officials said the main hypothesis being considered was that the cocaine was intentionally adulterated as part of a settling of scores between traffickers.
