Governor to lower state flags for Rosa Parks honor
South Carolina Governor Max Sanford criticized for delaying lowering state flags after Rosa Parks death on October 24. He said state law prevents action unless a bill grants authority, while federal buildings already lowered flags. Senate leaders and Rep. Clark filed bills to authorize the governor to half staff flags on the State House when Congress or the president orders such honors.

Subcommittee outlines two tax reform proposals in Columbia
South Carolina senators advance two constitutional tax plans. One would shift to a default property tax reassessment at sale or major improvement, rolling values back to 2004, while the other would cap local tax rates tied to personal income growth. The measures face a two-thirds vote hurdle and possible public vote options. Senator Wes Hayes warned against state overreach, while differences linger on broader tax shifts. Local governments express concerns over future funding as debate continues.
