South Carolina car tax relief bill speeds to House
A $1.3 billion plan to erase vehicle property taxes over seven years advances in the House. The Ways and Means Committee expected to move it to the floor next week as a companion Senate bill also progresses. The plan would start in January 1999 with 15 percent of growth for personal property relief, funded by reimbursements to local governments at 1998 tax levels.

Students skip school protest over principal reassignment
More than 400 Calhoun County High School students boycotted classes to protest principal Jimmy Franklin's reassignment by the school board. They agreed to return after a meeting with district superintendent Roy Holloway, who cited declining test scores and planned a new principal by April 15. Franklin said he was surprised by the turnout and defended the 60 point drop in SAT scores from 1996 to 1997 as misleading.
