South Carolina budget shortfall looms over 2001 02 plan
South Carolina budget writers face a 500 million gap between projected revenues and spending, with the Economic Advisors Board holding forecasts for the rest of this year and 2001 02. Oil price drops and consumer debt could bolster next year’s outlook while midyear cuts are less likely. House Ways and Means planned hearings and a 5.4 billion revenue baseline, potentially rising by 92.1 million, leaves 165.2 million to fill the gap.

Cats in need find new homes after mass rescue
Molly's Militia rescued 23 cats and kittens from a distressed family last Sunday and split them among several foster homes in the Central Savannah River Area. The cats range in age and color, with several already spayed and all tested for feline leukemia. Community support is needed as foster homes will not be able to adopt them all. Some may receive low cost spay neuter for adopters.
