House Still Arguing Minibottle Issue
The South Carolina House again refused to act on a minibottle revenue bill for counties. A compromise amendment would require counties to forfeit that year’s minibottle funds if they fail to implement rehabilitation plans by June 30, 1974, with appeals to the governor if plans aren’t approved. Rep. Byrd presses to remove a rehabilitation commission requirement, arguing state power should stay with local Darlington residents.
