OLeary to Decide SRS Projects and Fuel Storage
Energy Secretary Hazel O Leary pledged early next year to select the design and location for a new nuclear materials production reactor at Savannah River Site and to decide how to handle spent foreign fuel. The plan includes storing 400 plus rods on an urgent basis and reclaiming 15000 rods to prevent weaponization, with South Carolina officials closely watching.

House Budget Deliberations Focus on Tax Break Plan
South Carolina House debates a $4 billion budget with water fees and school funding changes. Bill by Ways and Means Chairman Billy Boan to eliminate residential property taxes for schools may be attached to the budget next week, potentially saving homeowners about $22 this year and $450 yearly on a $100,000 home after four years. Supporters also lobby for extending Barnwell waste landfill permissions for out-of-region shipments post July.

Funding Masterpiece Looking Doubtful
Debate in the House Ways and Means Committee on the 4 billion budget stretched past last night. Rep. J Roland Smith told Midland Valley Chamber of Commerce tax relief is a priority and the first installment of property tax relief totals 16.9 million to be returned to local school districts. Local officials warned agency cuts will raise residential taxes as business relief shifts costs to homeowners.
