The Senate assembled at 11:00 A.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.
A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:
Beloved, hear the Prophet Jeremiah concerning the joyful return of the Exiles, Chapter 31, (vv.3,6) (NRSV):
"I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore I have continued my faithfulness
to you...
Again you shall plant vineyards on the
mountains of Samaria...
For there shall be a day when sentinels
will call in the hill country of Ephraim:
'Come let us go up to Zion,
To the Lord our God'".
Let us pray.
O Lord, the Lord of the Hebrew children and our Lord: we thank You for tipping the scales of life from despair over the human condition to joy in the faithfulness of a God that promises redemption.
So often our lives, like Jeremiah's, are tilted out of balance by the formidable weight of daily struggles. Life, so often, becomes a great burden to so many.
We remember before You the "street people" of our land... and other lands, that drift homeless about.
Help us to design an economy, and a style of life where no one lacks food and shelter, and an opportunity for a job and self-fulfillment, where all can sing,
"Come, let us go up to Zion,
To the Lord our God."
Amen!
The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.
(R25) S. 494 -- Senator Courtney: AN ACT TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM DISTANCE WITHIN WHICH A COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION, DEMOLITION, AND LAND-CLEARING LANDFILL IN SPARTANBURG COUNTY MAY NOT BE LOCATED FROM AN EXISTING AQUACULTURE FARM OR FACILITY AND TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONS AND DEFINITIONS.
April 4, 1995
Mr. President and Members of the Senate:
I am hereby returning without my approval S. 494, R. 25, an Act:
TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM DISTANCE WITHIN WHICH A COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION, DEMOLITION, AND LAND-CLEARING LANDFILL IN SPARTANBURG COUNTY MAY NOT BE LOCATED FROM AN EXISTING AQUACULTURE FARM OR FACILITY AND TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONS AND DEFINITIONS.
This veto is based upon my belief that S. 494, R. 25 of 1995, is unconstitutional. It is clearly an act for a specific county. Article VIII, Section 7 states that "[n]o laws for a specific county shall be enacted."
For the above reason, I am returning S. 494, R. 25, without my signature.
Sincerely,
David M. Beasley
The veto of the Governor was taken up for immediate consideration.
Senator COURTNEY 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?

Mr. President and Members of the Senate:
I am hereby returning without my approval S. 585, R. 27, an Act:
TO AMEND ACT 813 OF 1946, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE CREATION OF THE SPARTANBURG MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM COMMISSION, SO AS TO CHANGE THE COMPOSITION OF THE COMMISSION.
This veto is based upon my belief that S. 585, R. 27 of 1995, is unconstitutional. It is clearly an act for a specific county or city. Article VIII, Section 7 states that "[n]o laws for a specific county shall be enacted;" similarly, Article VIII, Section 10 states that "[n]o laws for a specific municipality shall be enacted."
For the above reasons, I am returning S. 585, R. 27, without my signature.
