House Debates Changes In Spending Limits Law
The South Carolina House debates a framework for a constitutional spending limit with an escape valve for emergencies. The proposal would set the limit by increased personal income growth or 9.5 percent of state personal income, whichever is higher, and would require a two thirds vote of at least 60 percent of members. The discussion follows a $2.7 billion 1984-85 budget with a 1 cent sales tax hike and an exemption for people over 85 from the tax, masking the limit.
