Governor Campbell vows education spending in budget plan
Gov. Campbell told lawmakers that money is needed to improve public education and adult education and to rehabilitate juveniles who commit crimes, with funds included in his proposed budget. He urged support while staying within means and not raising taxes, saying he was guardedly encouraged by the budget picture. Legislators from Aiken County echoed his emphasis on education and economic development, though some criticized the blame placed on the legal profession for auto insurance costs. He urged a comprehensive highway safety bill and tort reform to reduce highway carnage and lobby for tougher drunk-driver measures. A separate note mentions Judge Peeples’s candidacy causing problems for supporters.
