DHEC Calls For Budget Hike While Others Face Cuts
DHEC board leaders argue the agency should escape an eight percent cut, urging priority status as a health program provider. The panel approved 2.9 million for Health Care Extension, including 150,000 for a Bowman clinic and 70,000 for Ridgeland renovations, funded by reallocating from other projects. Lachland L. Hyatt defended the board against criticisms from Senator Marion Gressette.

State TEC authority questioned by lawmakers
State Rep. Charles E. Hodges alleges the state Board for Comprehensive and Technical Education is seizing power from 16 local TEC boards. He notes a $35.3 million budget request and calls for clarity on laws from 1972 governing local control versus state funding and spending rules. Local TEC officials urge a coordinating agency and legislative modification of current statutes.
