South Carolina posts 13.2 million surplus despite Hugo impact
State officials say 1989-90 ended with a 13.2 million surplus after pulling 47 million from a reserve and trimming 25 million from unspent 1988-90 funds. Comptroller Earle Morris Jr. praises the result as good news for taxpayers and government resiliency amid Hugo and tax shortfalls. Gov. Campbell's office also greets the report as positive economic resilience. Final revenue projections show a large gap, with tax collections undershooting by about 88.7 million.
