Community Involvement

She is active at her home parish, Trinity Episcopal Church in Pinopolis, SC, and has served as the parish's Senior Warden.

Tax Controversy

Bounds and the entire board were criticized by some members of the community for the tax increases on assessed property in 2005. Bounds has repeatedly stood by the Board's budgetary process as open and honest and asserts that the revenues have gone toward building state of the art schools in every part of the county and for much needed teacher pay increases.
