Bridge, Road Work in SC Still Moving Slowly with Gas-tax-hike Money
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
In recently announcing his proposed nearly $41 billion total state budget for fiscal 2025, Gov. Henry McMaster recommended using a projected $500 million school-fund surplus for emergency bridge replacement and repairs.
“Many of these bridges are 60, 70 and even in excess of 80 years old and are crumbling before our eyes each day,” McMaster said in a Jan. 5 press release. “Too many have been closed, while others are in such a state of disrepair that the required restrictions render them useless for commercial trucking, school buses, or fire trucks needed to serve our state’s increasing population.”

SC House Passes Bill to Ban Childhood Gender Transitions!
- By South Carolina Freedom Caucus
But not before the RINOs get a beatdown from the grassroots.
The South Carolina House of Representatives passed the “Help, Not Harm Bill” today.
This bill bans genital mutilation surgery (also known as transgender surgery), puberty blockers, and hormone therapy for anyone under the age of 18.
The bill also prohibits state funds from being used directly or indirectly for gender transitions.
Freedom Caucus member SC Rep. Stewart Jones (R-Laurens) filed a bill to ban these harmful procedures that cause irrevocable injury over a year ago. Sadly, liberal House leadership didn’t give the bill a hearing and sat on this important legislation while kids were being harmed for over 13 months.

Eagle Forum Applauds Appeals Court Decision to Allow Alabama to Protect Vulnerable Children
- By Eagle Forum
Children in Alabama Should be Helped, Not Harmed by Irreversible Treatments
Eagle Forum, together with Alabama Eagle Forum, applauds the decision of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to lift the injunction against the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection (VCAP) Act and allow the law to go into effect pending a decision on the merits expected later this year.
“We are grateful for the decision by the 11th Circuit to allow Alabama to enforce protections for vulnerable children suffering from gender dysphoria. The so-called ‘treatments’ with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones permanently alter the healthy bodies of children and impair their futures. The action by the Court yesterday will finally allow the VCAP law to go into effect after more than 18 months of delay,” said Eagle Forum President Kris Ullman.

Huge Win for Liberty! But It's Not Over...
- By SC Freedom Caucus
Yesterday, grassroots conservatives across SC won in a major way!
Earlier this week, establishment Republicans and Democrats attempted to ram through a major rules change to prohibit conservatives in the SC House of Representatives from being able to offer amendments on legislation in certain situations. The rule was straight out of the Nancy Pelosi playbook. Thankfully, we had just enough time to sound the alarm to grassroots leaders across the state.
Because of YOU we were able to stop the rule change! ... But only for now ...

SC Establishment Bringing Nancy Pelosi-Like Rules to SC
- By SC Freedom Caucus
If you thought the incumbent protection pledge was bad, you won't believe what the RINOs are trying to do now.
For those who don't know, the moderate establishment kicked out the 16 most conservative members of the Republican Caucus for refusing to sign a soviet-style loyalty pledge.
Listen to Glenn Beck discuss the issue HERE.
The pledge sought to silence members of the SC Freedom Caucus by prohibiting us from posting photos of the public voting board, endorsing more conservative challengers, or informing the citizens about how members of the House break their campaign promises.

South Carolina’s Income Tax Rate Is Expected to See Another Decrease in 2024
- By James Spurck, Publisher
The State’s Goal is to Reduce the Tax Rate by 0.1% until it reaches 6% from its original 7%
With South Carolina having the highest personal income tax rate in the Southeast and being the 12th highest in the nation, SC State Legislators and Governor Henry McMaster decided that it was time for an income tax cut.
In 2022, the state’s top tax rate was seven percent. That year the South Carolina Senate compromised from a desired 5.7% rate by passing along with the State House a new spending plan that would immediately lower 7% to 6.5 percent for the coming 2023 tax year. Beginning with 2024, over the next five years, it would reduce by 0.1 percent each year until it reached 6% in 2028.

Stop South Carolina Article V Con-Con Resolutions
- By The John Birch Society
URGENT; ACT NOW: South Carolina’s Article V Con-Con resolutions — S. 369, H. 3676 (BBA), S. 481, H.3895 (term limits), S. 391, H.4626, and H.4625 (delegate bills) — could be scheduled for hearings in their respective committees at any time, and at short notice.

Members of the South Carolina General Assembly are seeking to pass a resolution applying to Congress to “call a Convention for proposing Amendments,” under Article V of the Constitution, otherwise known as a constitutional convention (Con-Con) or “convention of the states,” as some erroneously refer to it.

It would prevent combat deployments of the South Carolina National Guard by the federal government in the absence of a congressional declaration of war or another constitutional reason in accordance with Article I, Section 8, Clauses 11 and 15, of the U.S. Constitution.

What S.C. Officials Don't 'Really, Really' Want You to Know About Incentives
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
“Tell me what you want, what you really, really want.”
It’s not entirely clear if Gov. Henry McMaster, 76, is a devoted fan of the 1990s British pop group, Spice Girls, but he gave a short, modified version of their 1996 hit song, “Wannabe,” at a recent meeting of the Greater Cayce-West Columbia Chamber of Commerce, according to a story published by the South Carolina Daily Gazette.
The Republican McMaster used the song’s lyrics to describe the state’s position on providing taxpayer-funded training to companies seeking to locate or expand in South Carolina – which is commonly part of large incentives deals and can total in the millions of dollars, as The Nerve has pointed out over the years.

Supreme Court Justice Defends Secretive Disciplinary System
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
At a recent S.C. House special committee hearing on judicial reform, Supreme Court Justice John Kittredge touted the “almost non-existent” number of ethics violations committed by state judges.
“Each week, members of the judiciary receive a report of all the ethical violations of judges around the country, and regrettably, it’s a pretty long list,” Kittredge said at the Nov. 7 hearing, the first of two public meetings held so far by the committee.
“But what you don’t see on that long list for every other state in the country,” Kittredge, 67, of Greenville, continued, “is you don’t see reports of South Carolina judges being reprimanded, being sanctioned, being removed.”

Electric bus maker required to do less for taxpayer-backed incentives
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
When Proterra announced in February 2010 that it was locating a hybrid- and electric-bus assembly plant in Greenville, the then-CEO said the company selected South Carolina over some 30 states because of the “numerous benefits in terms of workforce capabilities and research and development support.”
Former CEO Jeff Granato didn’t mention any taxpayer-backed incentives offered to the company, based then in Colorado. The S.C. Department of Commerce in a press release at the time said two state grants totaling $3 million were awarded to the company – dubbed “Project Magic Carpet” – but didn’t provide specifics on any other offered incentives.
Two months later, The Nerve revealed that Proterra could receive up to $40 million in grants, corporate income tax and job development credits, low-interest bonds and forgivable loans within 10 years.

Ohio Legislators & Leaders to Fight Issue 1
- By Faith2Action
Our Children are Not for Sale to the Highest Bidder
NORTH ROYALTON, Ohio -- In addition to the 26 Ohio legislators who issued a joint statement against Issue 1 on Tuesday, legislative leaders announced today they will be introducing bills to address Issue 1 in the Ohio House. Tuesday's joint legislative statement said in part, "This initiative failed to mention a single, specific law. We will do everything in our power to prevent our laws from being removed based upon perception of intent."
"Foreign billionaires don't get to make Ohio laws," said Jennifer Gross (R-West Chester), pointing to millions from billionaires outside America that helped fund Issue 1. Gross added, "This is foreign election interference and it will not stand."

Support the South Carolina Sovereignty Act, H.3539
- By The John Birch Society
South Carolina lawmakers are seeking to enact a comprehensive nullification bill, a major step toward enforcing the U.S. Constitution and pushing back against federal overreach.
House Bill 3539 (H.3539), titled the “South Carolina Sovereignty Act,” is sponsored by Representative Josiah Magnuson (R-Campobello) and 22 other representatives. If enacted, this bill would create a robust and comprehensive process for nullifying unconstitutional federal laws and policies enacted after January 1, 2021.

Sick: Ohio Issue 1 Ads Present a False, ‘Pro-Abortion’ Jesus
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
Some elections have a deeper significance than choosing the policies that will guide us. They are harbingers of a spiritual and moral change taking place among our people. The election over Ohio’s Issue 1, where ads proclaim that followers of Jesus should be “pro-abortion,” is one such election.
For decades, politicians tried to cloak their abortion-expanding policies beneath protests that they were “personally opposed” and believed abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.” The authors of Issue 1 insist Jesus would amend Ohio’s constitution to give people of all ages the “right” to make “reproductive decisions” ranging from unlimited abortion, to transgender surgeries, to potentially allowing prostitution.
Lest ye think I’m being overly dramatic, watch their ads and read their literature. Issue 1’s sponsors have quietly turned the political initiative into a public bout of spiritual warfare.

Top Establishment Republican Leader Violates Ethics Laws? Case Referred to 5th Circuit Solicitor's Office
- By The SC Freedom Caucus
The latest example? An ongoing ethics investigation into the corrupt dealings of powerful Labor, Commerce, and Industry (LCI) Committee Chairman Bill Sandifer was referred to the 5th Solicitor’s Office earlier this week for further consideration.
Remember, this is the same truth challenged Representative who was caught on camera blatantly lying to members of the public, telling them Freedom Caucus members “offered 1,000 amendments to kill the Fetal Heartbeat Bill.” He also authored the Base Load Review Act which directly led to the failure of the VC Summer Nuclear Plant and cost taxpayers and ratepayers billions of dollars.

Hidden currents: How S.C. officials kept electric vehicle project secret
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
On the night of Sunday, Feb. 26 this year, state and local government officials gathered in the 600 Executive Club at the Williams-Brice football stadium in Columbia for an event billed as a “Confidential Economic Development Dinner with Project Connect: Scout Motors.”
The meeting was so secret that dinner guests were required to sign nondisclosure agreements to attend, according to records obtained recently by The Nerve under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act.
The stated purpose of the event, led by Gov. Henry McMaster, was for “South Carolina leadership to host a dinner for Project Connect’s leaders,” which included Scott Keogh, Scout Motors' president and chief executive officer, as well as executives and a board member of the Volkswagen Group, records show. The German-based Volkswagen Group last year created Scout Motors as an independent company.
