Lower Revenues May Push S C Deficit Higher
State budget officials faced the prospect of deeper cuts than February as the Budget and Control Board prepared for further reductions amid lower revenues.

State agencies would bear any further reductions, with layoffs or furloughs described as a last-ditch option if needed.
