South Carolina faces $81 million shortfall in May and June
Comptroller Richard Eckstrom said the state collected $81 million less than expected in the last two months of the fiscal year ending June 30. He blamed the slower economy, noting safeguards prevent overspending, and warned that funds for a retiree health benefits trust, small projects, and education funding may be reduced. The shortfall follows a May surplus projection and could prompt reconsideration of a $7 billion plan and supplemental budget items.
