Senators Threaten Tax Breaks Repeal for South Carolina Industry
South Carolina Senator Tom E. Smith Jr proposes bills to repeal major industry tax exemptions. If passed, local and state taxes could rise by about 140 million annually.

Max Heller warns changes could cripple industrial recruitment, noting SC’s strong 8 billion in new industry over four years.
