Budget cuts deepen for South Carolina state agencies
In Columbia the Senate Finance Committee produced a plan that falls $12 million short, with Health and Human Services facing $5 million in reductions and other agencies taking $7 million. Overall cuts rise to 9.4 percent from 9.1 with $4 million trimmed from the Continuum of Care for needy children. Senate leaders warn the path remains painful as debate continues and floor action is anticipated Thursday.
