House furlough to save $42,000
Senior writer Philip Lord reports that South Carolina House members plan a weeklong furlough to save taxpayers $42,000 by not meeting. Rep. James Roland Smith notes the aim is to show state business can be conducted in a shorter session. The House has long sought to adjourn 60 days earlier each year, a bill that died in the Senate. The House will return to tackle the budget. A Senate-hung priority list includes primary enforcement of the seatbelt law and designating Clemson University, MUSC, and USC as state research institutions.
