Holderman Rejects Plea Offer in Bankruptcy Fraud Case
Former University of South Carolina president James Holderman will undergo a psychiatric evaluation at a facility chosen by the Federal Bureau of Prisons after rejecting a plea deal. The evaluation should begin within weeks and last 60 to 90 days, delaying the March 5 trial to at least May. Holderman faces eight counts of fraud tied to his 1992 bankruptcy, with a possible 33 months if convicted. His lawyers say manic mood issues will be part of the defense.

House Bill Limits Local Government Taxing Power
South Carolina House supporters push a 1995 state Supreme Court ruling rollback to curb local taxes. The measure bans new taxes after December 31 and limits increases in existing taxes and service charges, with utilities excluded. It allows limited 3 percent special taxes on hotels and restaurants for projects like waterfront erosion and civic centers. The bill awaits third reading in the House.
