House upholds veto of court fee increases
South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford’s veto of civil court filing fee hikes survived 58 to 5 in the House, far from the two thirds needed to override. Chief Justice Jean Toal warned the loss of more than 21 million would force layoffs, threatening the judicial system. Supporters say higher fees burden business with the state courts, while opponents call it a tax and plan another override attempt next week.
