South Carolina budget hits teachers and disabled in week of hearings
In the week ending Feb 26, the House Ways and Means Committee backed a 5.1 billion budget cut programs. Teachers face furloughs up to five days and a learning incentive program ends. Medicaid for children above 150 percent poverty ends enrollment. Drug caps affect over 48 percent of adult Medicaid. 30,000+ disabled lose state care. Chief Justice Toal warns courts face breakdown if funds shrink further. The panel also trims 4.5 million in state funds, offset by 2.2 million federal aid.
