Budget Accord Finaly Conferees Adjust Spending Plans
South Carolina budget writers reach a deal to balance a 4 billion plan for the coming year without extra nuclear waste disposal fees.

Legislation now awaits ratification by House and Senate before being sent to Gov Campbell before the session ends.
