Senate Finance Panel Proposes Continued SC Budget Plan
The Senate Finance Committee backs a $3.5 billion budget for the new fiscal year with five percent cuts for most agencies, preserves public schools and higher education, restores most Hurricane Hugo and other cuts, and adds $35 million from higher fees on out-of-state generators.
