Hospital lawyers: veto did not end CON approval process
South Carolina hospitals argued before the state Supreme Court that the Certificate of Need program remains in effect despite Gov. Nikki Haley’s veto of its funding. Attorney Mitch Brown urged DHEC to self fund by raising facility expansion fees, a move they say addresses the program’s costs.

Haley veto stalls DH C program with 2 million cut
The article notes Governor Haley vetoed almost 2 million to fund a DH EC administered program. About three dozen projects worth around 100 million were under review when the veto occurred and remain stalled. House lawmakers defended the veto as a money issue, not a program question, after Ways and Means Chairman Brian White spoke.

Wade, a former Commerce official under Obama, said the late entrance left little calendar room to mount a serious challenge.
