Many S.C. Counties Left Out of Gas-tax-hike Spending by State
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
In the first year of a controversial law hiking the state’s gasoline tax and other fees, the S.C. Department of Transportation spent no proceeds in 20 of South Carolina’s 46 counties, newly released records show.
Overall, only about $7 million, or 2.2 percent, of $312.6 million in total revenues collected from July 1, 2017, through June 30 was spent on “external” projects, according to agency records.
The most-recent online records show that 20 counties, including larger counties such as Beaufort, Lexington and Spartanburg, had no expenditures over the one-year period.

Contact Your Representatives to Tell Them Not to Allow Planned Parenthood Funding in Appropriations Bill
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
The House and Senate announced that they will meet together this week to discuss funding of the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Labor, Health and Human Services (Labor-HHS) appropriations packages. The House never passed a Labor-HHS bill, so they are planning to accept the Senate’s version, even though it has funding for Planned Parenthood. In addition, they plan to keep it attached to the DOD appropriations bill which will force Republicans to take a vote that funds the military in exchange for continuing the evil practices of abortion clinics.

“At its worst, political correctness is nothing different from Orwell's Newspeak - an attempt to change the way people think by forcibly changing the way they speak.” Urban Dictionary
"Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our founding fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well by creating the international child of the future.” Chester M. Pierce, Harvard psychiatrist, speaking as an expert in public education at the 1973 International Education Seminar.
S.C. Agencies Sitting on Nearly $500M in Taxpayer Funds
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
As S.C. lawmakers plan to push a massive borrowing bill next year, they likely won’t publicly talk about the fat reserves that some state agencies have accumulated – including their own chambers.
State agencies collectively carried over about $484.5 million in general funds into the fiscal year that started July 1, according to S.C. Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom’s year-end report on the 2017-18 fiscal year.
That is roughly the amount of a taxpayer-backed bond bill that died in the Legislature last year, about half of which was designated for higher education projects. Lawmakers reportedly next year plan to introduce another bill to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars – which would fall on taxpayers to repay – for repairs at colleges and universities and other state-owned buildings.
