House Nixes Budget Bill Compromise
In Columbia South Carolina the House rejected a $648 million general appropriations bill for 1972-73 by a 64 to 46 vote, sending it back to the budget conference committee. Lawmakers warned the measure would be fiscally irresponsible and trigger a potential $50 to $60 million tax increase next year. The session also debated a teacher pay hike and a state employee raise, with opposition to specific line items such as a $50,000 home for the corrections chief and a $500 rebate for oil jobbers.
