Senate Opens Education Debate in South Carolina
The Senate Finance Committee opened debate on funding for Gov. Riley's education program. Sen. Lake claimed $300 million revenue growth for 1984-85, while Sen. Dennis dismissed the figure as baloney. The House already passed a 1984-85 budget with $192.9 million for education, largely from a penny sales tax proposal.
