Legislature meets Sanford threat in final session
Lawmakers adjourned Columbia's regular session after 5 p.m. Thursday and will return June 14 to address vetoes. Gov. Mark Sanford attempted to recall lawmakers to confront his budget vetoes, but Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell and House Speaker Bobby Harrell did not ratify the budget, leaving Sanford with no veto action. The House cited a long-standing practice of a post session break and noted primary challenges for House members.

Property tax relief tops lawmakers 2006 session achievements
Lawmakers tout property tax relief as a major 2006 win. The plan shifts school operating costs off homeowners, cuts average bills by about half, and trims grocery taxes while raising the state sales tax by one cent in 2007. It includes $25 million for rural districts and more aid for poor children, but triggers concerns about local control and funding stability amid possible recessions.
