The Senate assembled at 11:00 A.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned and was called to order by the PRESIDENT Pro Tempore.
A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:
Beloved, hear an interesting passage from the ancient Book of First Samuel, (NRSV) (3:1,10):
"Now the boy Samuel was ministering to
the Lord under Eli. The word of the Lord was
rare in those days, visions were not
widespread..."
"Then the Lord said to Samuel, 'See, I am
about to do something in Israel that will
make both ears of anyone who hears it
tingle'..."
Let us pray.
Dear Lord, we, too, live in a day when the Word of the Lord is rare and spiritual visions are not widespread.
Help us to realize Your eminence in our world of affairs that we may be so attuned to Your Spirit that we may hear in our day words comparable to the words heard by Samuel, "See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make both ears of anyone who hears of it tingle!"
Amen!

(R2) S. 278 -- Senators Mescher and Rose: AN ACT TO AMEND ACT 1093 OF 1966, RELATING TO THE GOOSE CREEK PARK AND PLAYGROUND COMMISSION, SO AS TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMMISSION TO THE GOOSE CREEK RECREATION COMMISSION.
March 7, 1995
Mr. President and Members of the Senate:
I am hereby returning without my approval S. 278, R. 2, an Act:
TO AMEND ACT 1093 OF 1966, RELATING TO THE GOOSE CREEK PARK AND PLAYGROUND COMMISSION, SO AS TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMMISSION TO THE GOOSE CREEK RECREATION COMMISSION.
This veto is based upon an informal opinion of the Attorney General's Office dated March 6, 1995. The opinion states:
The act bearing ratification number 2 of 1995 would amend Act No. 1093 of 1966, relating to the Goose Creek Park and Playground Commission so as to change the name of the commission to the Goose Creek Recreation Commission. A review of the relevant acts shows that the commission is located wholly within Berkeley County. Thus, R.2 is clearly an act for a specific county. Article VIII, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of South Carolina provides that "[n]o laws for a specific county shall be enacted." Acts similar to R-2 have been struck down by the South Carolina Supreme Court as violative of Article VIII, Section 7.
For the above reasons, I am returning S. 278, R. 2, without my signature.
Sincerely,
David M. Beasley
Governor
The veto of the Governor was taken up for immediate consideration.
Senator MESCHER moved that the veto of the Governor be overridden.
The question was put: Shall the Act become law, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding?
The "ayes" and "nays" were demanded and taken, resulting as follows:
AYES
