South Carolina House to push 50 cent cigarette tax hike
A spokesman for House Speaker Bobby Harrell said the Charleston Republican will introduce a bill this week to raise the cigarette tax by 50 cents a pack. The tax aims to fund health care for the poor and expand coverage while reflecting a federal rise planned to $1.01 per pack. Separately, SC students gathered at the Statehouse urging higher education funding as the state budget faces about a $1 billion cut since July affecting public universities.
