No action taken on Corrections $24 million shortfall
The South Carolina Budget and Control Board, chaired by Mark Sanford, took no immediate steps on a $20 to $24 million Corrections Department shortfall. It asked Corrections Director Ozmint to return with proposals to narrow the gap, including furloughs and emergency releases, with Sanford resisting early inmate releases and past board practices.

House bill seeks to curb growth and spending limits
Columbia lawmakers push a bipartisan bill to cap state spending and growth and create a rainy day fund. It would replace the current personal income based formula with a population and inflation based limit of 6 percent of annual appropriations and allow excess to be used for infrastructure schools tax relief and disasters.
