South Carolina lawmakers brace for state budget cuts
An AP mailed survey of 61 of 170 General Assembly members shows 69 percent expect serious cuts in personnel and services due to lagging tax collections and Reagan era federal reductions. Respondents favor across the board cuts or targeting higher education, personnel, and nonessential agencies while preserving core programs.

Lake Hartwell Surges Nearly 5 Feet From Rain
Lake Hartwell rose to 647.38 feet at 8a.m. after heavy Upstate South Carolina rainfall, up from 642.40 on Christmas Eve. The lake sits 12.62 feet below normal as streams fed by rain saturated the surrounding ground. Sosebee, Hartwell chief ranger, notes visitor numbers fell in 1981 due to the high water and weak economy, but urges more rain to reach normal levels.
