Maybank Money Raise Weighs on South Carolina Budget
Revenue Director Burnie Maybank has pushed for 300 million in regular tax enforcement with a 90 million goal, claiming progress toward the target as auditors note several taxpayers owe millions. Through January his effort collected 56 million, while total revenue reached 216 million versus a 175 million projection. The 2002 appointee faces a tighter 45 million forecast for the coming year as lawmakers consider filling funding gaps or cutting spending.
