South Carolina Senate seeks end to caucus spending loophole
Senate Majority Leader Harvey Peeler bills to require itemized reporting for caucus operating accounts, mandating public disclosure of donations and expenditures. Crangle of Common Cause supports the move, arguing caucus funds are public, not private, and pose slush fund risk. The measure targets both GOP and Democratic caucuses with limited prior reporting.

SC Senate approves hike in underground gas tank fees
South Carolina moves to raise annual fees for underground gas station tanks from $100 to $500 by 2015 to avert cleanup fund shortfalls. The Senate approved the measure 35 to 2 to meet EPA requirements as the state funds climb toward $36 million. Operators back the plan with a provision to return to $100 once the fund hits the target.
