Budget Bill Rewrites Put Senate At Odds With House
The South Carolina Senate finished rewriting the 1981-82 general appropriation bill and faces a conference with the House over differences. With July 16 adjournment looming, lawmakers also must handle house and congressional reapportionment. The $1.918 billion measure funds state expenses through June 30. Conferees will tackle funding for 62 000 state employees pay raises, as the Senate shifted dates and tied funding to a bond plan for school buses.
