The House assembled at 2:00 P.M.

Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:

We thank You, Heavenly Father, for the work You have given us to do, and forbid that we should see it only as a job. Make us big enough to admit our mistakes, tall enough to tower over deceit, strong enough to be helped by criticism, compassionate enough to understand human frailties, humble enough to be grateful for approval, thoughtful enough to be concerned about others, childlike enough to trust in God.

In all things help us to conduct ourselves so as to deserve Your divine approval: "well done, good and faithful servant".
Amen.

Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by the SPEAKER.

After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.

The following was received.

TO:                 CLERK OF THE SENATE

CLERK OF THE HOUSE
FROM:     THE JOINT LEGISLATIVE SCREENING COMMITTEE TO REVIEW CANDIDATES FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA EMPLOYMENT SECURITY COMMISSION
DATE:         JANUARY 14, 1992

In compliance with the provisions of Act 119, of 1975, and Act 167 of 1979, it is respectfully requested that the following information be printed in the Journals of the Senate and the House.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/Isadore E. Lourie, Chairman         /s/Rep. Lewis Vaughn
/s/Senator Sam Stilwell                                 /s/Rep. John L. Scott, Jr.
/s/Senator Ed Saleeby                                     /s/Rep. John Snow
/s/Senator Herb Fielding                             /s/Rep. Harriet Keyserling

Pursuant to Act 119 of 1975, this Committee was organized to consider the qualifications of candidates seeking election to the South Carolina Employment Security Commission. The Committee conducts such investigation of each candidate as it deems appropriate and reports its Findings to the General Assembly prior to election. It is not the function of the Committee to recommend one candidate over another or suggest to the individual legislator for whom to vote. Our role is instead that of determining whether a candidate is qualified and under the statute our determination in that regard is not binding upon the General Assembly.

Four candidates who were under consideration at the time of the hearings are discussed in this Report. The candidates who appeared before the Joint Legislative Screening Committee for its consideration are as follows:
Samuel R. Foster
Cecil T. Sandifer
J. William McLeod
C. Lem Harper

MR. CHAIRMAN: The purpose of this hearing is for the screening of the     candidates for the South Carolina Employment Security Commission. We have files on each one of the candidates here. I think we ought to just ask them to introduce themselves.
MR. McLEOD: I'm Billy McLeod. On file it's probably John William
McLeod, and I'm presently serving on the Commission.
MR. SANDIFER: I'm Cecil Sandifer, presently serving on the
Commission, as well.
MR. HARPER: Lem Harper.
MR. FOSTER: Sam Foster. I'm with the House at the present time.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Glad to have you gentlemen here. I'll ask the
members of the Committee to introduce themselves. John, why don't we start with you.
REPRESENTATIVE SCOTT: I'm Representative John Scott, Richland     County, House District 77.
SENATOR STILWELL: I'm Sam Stilwell, Senate District 6.
SENATOR FIELDING: I'm Herb Fielding, Senate District 42,
Congressional Candidate.
MR. CHAIRMAN: And this is Hogan Brown who is Director of Senate     Research and Counsel. I'm Isadore Lourie, District 21, Richland County.
REPRESENTATIVE SNOW: I'm Bubba Snow, House District l03. I
represent Williamsburg and Georgetown.
REPRESENTATIVE VAUGHN: Lewis Vaughn, Greenville County,
District l8, House Representative.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Let me just ... As you know, you all will be probably     one of the first elections under the new Ethics Law, and I realize all of you have filed your economic interest statement prior to this hearing. Effective January l, l992, there will be new, more extensive requirements regarding the filing of economic interests. Since your election will not take place until after January l, the law will require you to file a statement ten days prior to your election which I believe probably will be held January 22nd. January l2, is that the date? The l0th is a Friday. Monday is the l3th. Which date is the ... Is there any particular legal problem about that, gentlemen? We're assured by the State Ethics Commission those forms will be ready by January 2nd. If they're not and you don't have enough time to get them ready, we might have to take you all off that election schedule the 22nd and put you sometime in February. As I understand it tentatively, Senator Pope, Chairman of the Judicial Screening Committee, has scheduled an election of judges on January 22nd, and we're trying to tag onto that resolution and have our elections on the same day. To assist you in meeting the economic interest disclosure requirements and other requirements proposed by the new law, I've asked the staff to provide each of you with a copy of the relevant portion of the law so you can begin to compile the necessary information in anticipation of receiving the form. There will be a logistical data meeting to talk about ... after the screening of the committee members ... on the issue as to what to do while awaiting the financial disclosure forms. My inclination is we ought to go ahead and have this hearing today and take the information that we have and make our decision on each candidate as to qualified or not qualified, reserving the right of the committee to reconvene if there's any concerns after we receive the expanded new financial disclosure forms. I think we ought to probably keep the process on track as we are. If any committee members decide otherwise after hearing testimony today, we can discuss that a little later. I have a letter dated November 20th, l99l, Marcia S. Porcel, who is Administrative Assistant to Chief Robert M. Stewart, addressed to me. "In response to your letter of November l3, l99l, I have caused a criminal history check to be made on the four candidates you submitted. All candidates are negative of any criminal activity and all have a valid clear driver's license with only minor traffic violations. If I can be of any further assistance to you in this or any other matter of mutual interest," please let us know. I'll have to make this letter part of the record.
(Committee Exhibit l was marked for identification.)
MR. CHAIRMAN: I assume, gentlemen, if there's been any mistake in     that letter, you will let us know. Any matters to come before the committee before I call the candidates to come forward? Anybody have anything they want to take before the committee? Representative Foster, I believe ... Senator Fielding.
SENATOR FIELDING: I just want to inquire what is the general
procedure?
MR. CHAIRMAN: We will hear testimony from each prospective
candidate, and then we'll ask them to be excused and the committee will see if there's anybody else who wants to testify. We haven't been notified that anybody else wants to testify; but if they do, we'll be glad to hear from them. Then they'll be excused and the committee will go in executive session to talk about the personnel matters and then after executive session, we'll announce the ...
SENATOR FIELDING: All the testimony then is in open session.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes, sir, unless it's requested otherwise. Then the     committee will have to take that into consideration. So unless any of the candidates request it be executive session, then we will proceed in open session. Mr. Foster, I believe you are first alphabetically. Come around the front end. Madam Court Reporter will swear you in.
SAMUEL RUFUS FOSTER, having been duly sworn, testified as follows:
MR. FOSTER - EXAMINATION BY MR. CHAIRMAN:
Q:     Will you please give us your full name.
A:     Samuel Rufus Foster.
Q:     You have filed a Legislative Screening Committee form. I assume you have had a chance to look at that and there are no changes or corrections that need to be made to that form that you have filed.
A:     No, sir.
Q:     I assume that you have no criminal record.
A:     No, sir.
Q:     Will you just briefly tell us a little bit about yourself and why you aspire to this position?
A:     All right, sir. I'm a native of Chester, South Carolina, now living in Rock Hill since l958, so I'm a native South Carolinian, having spent all of my years here for the most part, trained in the public schools in South Carolina and attended college in South Carolina. I majored in elementary education and have been involved in the public schools for thirty-two years, retired in l985, and have been a member of the General Assembly for eleven years. All of my life has been associated with public service. Part of my interest in pursuing the position of Commissioner is that that position represents a continued interest in public service and it's a very critical interest, in my opinion, to be served at this time with the state of the economy. I sought to hopefully have some impact upon what represents a critical area at this time and to provide me with a continuing interest in public service which I've done all of my life.
Q:     We note, Mr. Foster, that you have filed a financial disclosure form and you have relative references. Do you understand, sir, that you will have to file a more comprehensive form after January 2nd?
A:     Yes, sir.
Q:     Do you understand about the January l0th deadline?
A:     Yes, sir.
Q:     If that deadline is not met, then the committee in its own wisdom can either postpone the election by some or decide that that candidate is not qualified.
A:     Yes, sir.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I would urge all the candidates to have their financial     information in on a timely basis. I now open the floor to questions. Representative Scott?
REPRESENTATIVE SCOTT: I'll pass.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Senator Stilwell?
EXAMINATION BY SENATOR STILWELL:
Q:     Just in general terms, Representative Foster, do you know of any particular business or other association that you may have at the current time that might present any conflict of interest in the duties that you would have on the board?
A:     None whatsoever.
Q:     You do receive retirement income from the state retirement, teacher retirement fund right now. Is that correct?
A:     Yes, and the status of that is that if I were fortunate enough to win, both systems represent the same system and I would have to drop out of the system as is.
Q:     I'm not too sure I really understand that. You mean you would cease receiving retirement payments?
A:     Yes.
Q:     But then you would be making normal contributions, based on your current salary in this position. Is that right?
A:     No, sir.
Q:     No?
A:     They would not deduct ... As I understand it, they would not deduct any retirement benefits from that salary; but the system provides that if one drops out of the system and is gainfully employed for 48 consecutive months which is exactly what this term of office represents, then that provides an opportunity to buy in the four years, the 48 months of service of most recent interest which would have been the term that is represented here.
Q:     I understand. That would simply be an addendum to ... basically.
A:     Yes, I could have the option of buying in those years, could have the option of buying them in. It's not necessary.
SENATOR STILWELL: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, that's all I have.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Senator Fielding, anything else? Any of my
colleagues over here?
REPRESENTATIVE SNOW: I have no questions.
MR. CHAIRMAN: All right. I see we have Mr. Jack David. We're
certainly glad to have you with us.
MR. DAVID: Thank you, sir.
MR. CHAIRMAN: How bad is unemployment out there?
MR. DAVID: It's 5.8 percent. The National rate is 6.8, but we're putting     the numbers together and most likely it will go up a little for the month of November.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Representative Harper. Former Representative.
Commissioner.
C. LEM HARPER, having been duly sworn, testified as follows:
COMMISSIONER HARPER - EXAMINATION BY MR. CHAIRMAN:
Q:     We're glad to have you with us, Commissioner Harper.
A:     Thank you, sir.
Q:     The letter of SLED on November 20th saying that you have no criminal record is correct?
A:     Sir?
Q:     You don't have any criminal record?
A:     Oh, no, I thought you said I did. You know how to get my attention.
Q:     You've had a chance, I assume, to look at the forms that we've received from the questionnaire that you filled out.
A:     Yes, sir.
Q:     Everything is in order on that.
A:     Yes, sir.
Q:     Tell us a little bit about your background, Mr. Harper, and why you aspire to this position again.
A:     Well, I had the pleasure of serving in the House for three terms. I got to know something about the work and the good job that the Employment Security did and an opportunity I feel to be of service in helping people who have real serious problems. From the House I went to the Commission in l97l and my feelings haven't changed. It still affords a great opportunity to help people who have real concerns and at the same time protect those employers who make a contribution with taxes in order to operate. I say it with pride where we are with a great staff. They do a good job for us and we don't deserve all the credit. It's something I'd love to continue because I love it.
Q:     How many employees are at the Commission now?
A:     We have l252 active and a total of l360. Some of those are part-time, hourly employees. We have l252 full-time employees.
Q:     On the average, how many claims do you process a month or a year?
A:     Well, right now it's high, as you know. It's running about l8,000 a week, so ... Fortunately I think ... we haven't had that for long. We're talking about paying out anywhere from eight to fifteen million dollars a week.
Q:     Thank you, sir. Representative Scott?
EXAMINATION BY REPRESENTATIVE SCOTT:
Q:     Mr. Harper, how much time are you putting in at the Commission on the average a week?
A:     My time has been consistent. It's been full-time for me since I started in '7l. I say that with pride. I do open the office every morning. It's just not a hardship on me and it's voluntary on my part. I enjoy going to work and being there on a full time-basis.
Q:     Thank you.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Representative Scott. Senator Stilwell?
EXAMINATION BY SENATOR STILWELL:
Q:     Mr. Harper, how are you doing today?
A:     Fine, Mr. Stilwell.
Q:     Please allow me to ask the same question of you I asked of Mr. Foster which I intend to ask of everyone that comes up here today. Do you know of any outside association, business interest or any kind of affiliation which in your mind might even possibly give rise to any conflict of interest with you discharging the duties of this office?
A:     No, sir.
Q:     I don't ask you this in any way to attempt to embarrass you or your son, but I can't help but notice that you have a son who is employed by the Commission.
A:     By the Commission? No, sir.
Q:     Is that right? Quality Control.
A:     Oh, yes, there is one, yes, sir. I thought you were talking about Lem. He works with you all.
Q:     Maybe I read this wrong which is your handwriting which is almost as bad as mine. It says Quality Control. Is that South Carolina Employment Security Commission?
A:     Yes, sir.
Q:     Have you taken a look at the new nepotism provisions of the Ethics Law and is there any problem there?
A:     I can answer that. Would you permit ...
Q:     That is a legal question. Believe me, I'm not trying to embarrass you at all.
A:     I wanted to be sure that I was on safe ground and I have looked into that. If you'll permit Mr. Jack David our executive director to answer that?
MR. DAVID: Sir, we have always interpreted the law that ... The
nepotism law affected me as the head of the agency. Once they appoint me, I'm the head of the agency. They can fire me if they want to. They have that authority but the nepotism law affects me. It does not affect the Commission. That is as we interpret it now.
Q:     Well, if I can follow up on that, I guess it is and I know there are other state agencies this way and I just haven't looked at the law. You are hired by the Commissioners and you then have the authority to hire and fire employees of the commission.
MR. DAVID: That's correct, that's correct.
Q:     Do you have the authority to set their salary outside of any control or direction by the Commissioners?
MR. DAVID: No, I do not and the Commissioner sets the policy for the     agency. We usually recommend to the Commission that they approve it. They are the approving authority for the policy and direction of the agency. They also are the Court of higher appeals in our agency and spend a great deal of their time hearing appeals.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Counsel for the committee, Mr. Brown, advises me     they told him the new ethics statute requires disclosure. Any other questions? Senator Stilwell?
SENATOR STILWELL: No questions.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Senator Fielding?
REPRESENTATIVE SNOW: I would just like to make a remark. I
think, Lem, I met you September of l947. I think that's longer than the Senator has known you. We went to Carolina together and of course I met Lem there. I danced my way out of Carolina and I ended up at Clemson and of course my classmate became your best friend, Marion Smith. We go way back. I just want to say I was impressed with the national article wherein you made comments in a publication that was mailed out. I think that's an innovative idea.
A:     Thank you.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes, sir, Senator.
SENATOR FIELDING: I guess you and I are the only two ...
A:     I'm still Greenville.
J. WILLIAM McLEOD: having been duly sworn, testified as follows:
COMMISSIONER McLEOD - EXAMINATION BY MR. CHAIRMAN:
Q:     You've had a chance to look at the questionnaire form which you filed with the Committee and your answers. Are there any corrections or changes you want to make to that?
A:     No, sir.
Q:     You have no criminal record.
A:     I sure hope not, no, sir.
Q:     Tell us about yourself a little bit, why you aspire to be re-elected.
A:     Okay, sir. Senator Lourie, of course, I served in the Legislature for eight years from Florence. That was my home until two years ago. After I got elected to the Commission, I felt like it being a full-time job which is the way I consider it, I moved my family, sold my farms in Florence and moved here to Columbia where I could come in every day. While serving in the Legislature, like all of you, I had an opportunity to work with several state agencies, being a legislator, and I felt like the Employment Security Commission was the one that I wanted to serve on if I was going to continue to be a public servant in the way that I wanted to in a full-time manner. That's when I offered four years ago in l988 and of course was successful in being elected to the Employment Security Commission, going on my first term. I finished my first term. I am Chairman now of the Commission and it was a great learning experience. I had help from my two colleagues who were both experienced as Commissioners. Of course, Jack David's leadership helped me, too. I think now I've gotten to the point in life where after having the first three or four years, it's kind of like graduating from college. I think now I've gained the knowledge and experience that I probably can contribute more to this agency now than I did when first elected so that's why I'm offering myself for re-election.
Q:     Thank you, Commissioner. Representative Scott?
REPRESENTATIVE SCOTT: No questions.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Senator Stilwell?
EXAMINATION BY SENATOR STILWELL:
Q:     Mr. Commissioner.
A:     Yes, sir.
Q:     First of all, let me ask you ... Since you've been on it, our unemployment record has been going up. We're not supposed to blame you for that.
A:     I certainly hope not. I was afraid that was going to come up.
Q:     I don't believe it would be very fair to attribute that to you.
A:     Thank you, I appreciate it.
Q:     I don't have to repeat the question. You have heard it.
A:     I heard it, yes, sir. I have nothing I know of that would interfere with it.
Q:     Do you have any outside business interest that you remain active in?
A:     Only I reckon I'm a sharecropper in such a way, when I moved up here, I sold my farms to an individual in Florence and I continue to farm with him just one particular crop during the summer, because that was part of the arrangement when I sold it. He was concerned about buying the farm and not having anyone to work it; so I had the understanding that when I sold it to him, I would provide my people that had farmed in my family, continue working, so I reckon I'm a sharecropper farmer that Bubba can relate to but that would be the only other business connections I have at all.
SENATOR STILWELL: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, I think that's all the     questions I have.
MR. CHAIRMAN: All right, sir. Senator Fielding?
Gentlemen?
EXAMINATION BY REPRESENTATIVE SNOW:
Q:     You didn't use the word tobacco.
A:     I do, I'm a sharecropper in tobacco, Bubba, and am proud of it.
Q:     Do you miss growing tobacco?
A:     I don't miss some parts of it but I remember the battles we used to have every year with the issues that would come up about tobacco, but I'm glad to know that you're still there to carry on the cause. They're still over there and I appreciate your help over there.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Any other questions? Is Representative Harwell here     as a character witness for you?
A:     Let's just call on him at a later time if we need him. I would use him if I have to.
MR. CHAIRMAN: If there's nothing further, we're delighted to have you     with us, Commissioner, and you're excused.
A:     Thank you.
MR. HARPER: Representative John Scott asked me a question. I don't     think I properly answered it.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes, sir, go ahead.
A:     You mentioned did I have any outside interests with my giving full time to the Commission. Let me mention that for forty-six years I've been in continuous business in Columbia. I have a black lady who's a partner with me, Thomasina Reynolds. She operates that business totally one hundred percent for me and all of my time is with the Employment Security Commission.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Commissioner Sandifer.
CECIL T. SANDIFER, having been duly sworn, testified as follows:
COMMISSIONER SANDIFER - EXAMINATION BY MR. CHAIRMAN:
Q:     Mr. Sandifer we're delighted to have you with us, sir.
A:     Thank you, sir.
Q:     You are familiar with the questionnaire form submitted by the Committee that you have filled out and given the Committee. Any changes or corrections you would like to make to that, sir?
A:     No, sir.
Q:     You have no criminal record?
A:     No, sir.
Q:     Would you tell us some background about yourself and why you aspire to be re-elected?
A:     Well, I appreciate being asked last. Being a funeral director, I'm the last man who will let you down. Sam knows something about this, talking about the farmers. I'm often ... and Herb is, too ... referred to as a southern planter so with that I will tell you a little bit about my background. I'm a graduate of Connie Maxwell Children's Home in Greenwood, South Carolina. Following my graduation from Connie Maxwell in Greenwood, I expressed a desire to be of service and I was placed in the Mackey Mortuary, and I served my apprenticeship in the Mackey Mortuary. After a time of service, I was able to obtain and buy my own firm which is known as the Sandifer Funeral Home which is in Westminster. During that period of time, I served as Mayor of Westminster for two years and I was able to serve as your representative for ten years and now I have been with the Employment Security Commission for twelve years so that somewhat gives a synopsis of my life. Of course, I'm the father of seven children, thirteen grandchildren. I do have an interest in the funeral home but I'm very fortunate to have two sons who operate the funeral home. Herb is very familiar with one of them. He is the general manager and full manager of the funeral home. I do have an apartment in Columbia here.
Q:     And you've never had any criminal record of any type.
A:     No, sir.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Representative Scott?
EXAMINATION BY REPRESENTATIVE SCOTT:
Q:     How much time do you spend during the week ...
A:     Well, John, it really varies. I come on Monday always. I'm always here on Thursday and perhaps Friday the majority of the time but many times I need ... I don't visit the local office like I ought to, but it's really full time. That's the reason I have an apartment here. I don't have a motel because it's necessary for me to be here many times five days a week.
Q:     How many local offices are there?
A:     Twenty-six. Thirty-six. Local offices.
MR. HARPER: Thirty-seven full time and the others are part time.
A:     I might add ... it's of some interest to all of you, I'm sure, but, you know, we're in the process of owning all of our buildings and I stand to be corrected but we own three or four and I think our main building which cost a total of four million dollars will be paid for in the next year or so. When these buildings are paid for, they really become state buildings if there's any reason to vacate them or whatever.
Q:     The money to pay for those buildings, where is the income generated from?
A:     I stand to be corrected. Fifty percent is Federal funded and then of course normally fifty percent is bonded money.
Q:     The title to those buildings will be in the state when you're through, with the Employment Security Commission?
A:     Yes, sir.
EXAMINATION BY REPRESENTATIVE SCOTT:
Q:     You brought up something pretty interesting. You said you don't visit the local offices.
A:     I said I would like to visit them more because it's such a full time here. I would like to visit more than I do.
Q:     I get real concerned in terms of making contact with those local offices.
A:     Yes, sir, I agree with you.
A:     Making sure those local offices function, and in the past I've been involved extensively with the Employment Security in my tenure with the Governor's office. I do know that the attitude of the Commission has to be expressed by the local offices to those people.
A:     I couldn't agree with you more.
Q:     And those people are treated fairly and in a good manner, especially if you try to generate the programs in place. In the past year how many of those local offices do you think that you probably have visited?
A:     Most of them in my Piedmont area, practically all of them in the Piedmont area, and of course I think that the other Commissioners usually visit those in those other areas.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Representative Scott. Senator Stilwell.
EXAMINATION BY SENATOR STILWELL:
Q:     We have a fairly new and very nice new local facility in Greenville County. Let me repeat the question to you. Do you know of any business associations or any other affiliations you may have that might pose a potential conflict of interest with you in discharging the duties of this office?
A:     No, sir, I do not. There's only one particular area I must address and you are very much familiar with being a former funeral business way back in your family. Occasionally as a funeral director we are called upon to service indigent families and of course that is indigent families paid out of local county funds but I did state that in my ...
Q:     I saw that in there. Do you on occasion take some active role in the conduct of funeral services like on the weekend when you're in Westminster and so forth?
A:     Yes, sir, when I'm there on the weekend when I can, you know.
Q:     That's all I have.
SENATOR FIELDING: Is the Commission divided geographically? All     the members are at large, aren't they?
A:     Yes.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Any other questions? Thank you. Glad to have you     with us. Anybody here want to testify for or upon any of the candidates? If not, I'd like to go into executive session so we can talk about this.
WHEREUPON, the Committee went into executive session.
MR. CHAIRMAN: We are ready to proceed.
SENATOR STILWELL: I make the motion I made in closed session and     that is that this Screening Committee find each of the four candidates qualified to run for the office and if elected to serve in the office.
SENATOR FIELDING: I second the motion.
REPRESENTATIVE SCOTT: I second the motion.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Of course, that motion is with the
understanding or the statement I made at the opening of the disclosures. The committee reserves the right to reconvene and study those disclosures and receive additional testimony and change our opinion if we so deem advisable. I would urge you to be sure those forms are filed timely. You've heard the motion, you've heard the second, all those in favor of the motion please signify by saying aye.
WHEREUPON, the ayes were heard.
MR. CHAIRMAN: All those opposed, nay.
WHEREUPON, no nays were heard.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Unanimous vote. Good luck, gentlemen.
(There being nothing further, this hearing was adjourned at 2:55 p.m.)

January 15, 1992
The Honorable Robert J. Sheheen
Speaker
House of Representatives
State House
Columbia, South Carolina 29211

Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:

I am returning H. 3651, the 1991 Capital Improvements Act (R. 256), with my veto.

Overall, I am pleased with the priorities reflected in the Capital Improvements Act.

The past year has been a difficult one for South Carolina and the new year does not promise to be easy. The nation as a whole is in the process of a slow recovery from sharp recession. Fortunately, South Carolina has escaped the full brunt of this economic downturn. We must continue on the road to recovery and the provisions of this Capital Improvements Act will lend assistance over the long term to South Carolina's economy, especially in areas of higher education, law enforcement and other special needs projects.

Many of the provisions in this Act will substantially benefit repairs and construction for much needed projects throughout the State. Assistance for higher education is a primary feature of the Act, as is much needed funding for construction projects for the Departments of Corrections and Youth Services.

Many of these projects will be welcome undertakings in the current economy. This Act, with its moderate final total, coupled with a cautious economy is a good course to take in the recovery phase of this recession.
VETO

With the attached veto item, the final amount of the Act more accurately reflects the concern and intentions of the Budget and Control Board to keep the bond bill within reasonable spending limits.

This veto does not reflect opposition to the construction of an airline hub in South Carolina. If South Carolina is to continue apace with its progress in industry and technology, we will need an airline hub to provide the transportation needs of South Carolina into the next century. Nevertheless, the effort on behalf of the State and other parties did not materialize and I cannot warrant the provision of $50,000,000 in this Act at this time.

Veto 1     Section 1, Number 28 State Development Board Airline Hub

This eliminates the funds sought for the development and construction of a possible airline hub in South Carolina. The immediate need for these funds is not evident; therefore, I am vetoing this item.

Sincerely,
Carroll A. Campbell, Jr.
Governor

The question was put, shall the Act become a part of the law, the veto of his excellency, the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding, the yeas and nays were taken resulting as follows:
