Supreme Court urged to hearSouth Carolina benefits suit
Groups representing teachers and state employees asked the South Carolina Supreme Court to hear a challenge to the Budget and Control Board decision to raise health insurance premiums for public workers. The suit argues the hikes conflict with the state budget and would affect more than 234,000 public workers and retirees. Haley chairs the board and supported shared costs, while lawmakers had agreed to fund the hikes. The request seeks a direct high court review before January 1.
