The House assembled at 10:30 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Psalm 31:3: "Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me."
Let us pray. O God, You made us in Your own likeness, and You love what You have made. Give to those whom You have placed in seats of honor and power a sense of awe and humility before You as their creator. Give strength to each Representative, staff and assistant as we go through the agenda set before us this week. Give them the blessing of sound judgment, the sill of making wise decisions, the patience to act in due time and the tack for being helpful. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor and all leaders. Keep our defenders of freedom safe as they protect us. We pray in the name of our Lord. Amen.

CANDIDATES: Yes.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Thank you very much. The first candidate would be Mr. Wayne George. Joseph Wayne George for candidate for the Coastal Carolina University, 6th District, Seat 12. Mr. George, please stand, sir.
MR. GEORGE: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Mr. George, we have a couple of questions I need to ask you. Do you have any health-related problems that would keep you from, if you're elected, by serving in a full capacity with the Board?
MR. GEORGE: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Do you have any elected positions or appointed positions now in your community that would cause a conflict of interest by serving, a dual-office holding?
MR. GEORGE: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Okay. Do your hobbies or your business, would it not interfere with being a member of the Board of Coastal Carolina University?
MR. GEORGE: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Thank you, sir. If you'll give us a brief statement we'd appreciate it.
MR. GEORGE: Okay. I'm a life-long resident of Mullins, South Carolina. That's been my home forever. I live about 35 miles from Coastal Carolina. And Coastal Carolina is very special to me. I was sort of a poor high school student, grade-wise, and Coastal offered me a basketball scholarship coming out of Mullins High School. I attended the college for two years and transferred to the University of South Carolina and later went on to finish college on weekends and at night. Coastal is special to me. I've kept up with it. Although I'm not a alumnus of the college, I've gone back and participated in some of the basketball alumni games. I've also participated there on other functions for the college. It's been something I've followed over the years. My family is a hundred percent in support of the college. My oldest son now is a junior. Jeff is a junior, studying business, at the college, the university. My second oldest son will attend, he's just been accepted to attend Coastal and he will attend in the fall. So I'll have my two oldest children, and I'm sure my third one is going to probably follow, too. My third boy. I have three boys. I have a concern. I love the college. One concern I have is being sure that we allow our in-state students to attend the college. That has been a concern of mine, to be sure that there's enough open positions for freshmen to attend. My second thing, I think that my background in public service and government and business, that I can help maybe from a fund-raising standpoint. I know that money is tight with all universities and colleges in South Carolina, and I think with my background I can do that. I've been a person that believes in community service. In 2004, Mullins awarded me the Community Citizen of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce. In 2004 I was recognized by the Department of Commerce for my activities there in Mullins in the revitalization of downtown. The Historic and Preservation of South Carolina Chapter awarded me the Elected Official of the Year in 2004. I spent 24 years in local government serving Mullins and, as I said, I believe in community service. Past President of the Rotary Club, past President of the Chamber of Commerce, and I'm very involved the city. I wanted to, and sort of in closing, Mr. Chairman, I don't know how much time, if I've taken too much time or not enough, but in closing, education has meant so much to me, personally. Not only at Coastal, but as I said, I was not bragging or not boasting, but I was not a good high school student, I was not a good college student coming out of high school. I had to go back and I struggled, raising a family and trying to make a living, to go back and finish at night and on the weekends. The appreciation, it might sound corny, but I think due to my business and my government experience, the last year I've taken on another role as a part-time professor. Both at Horry-Georgetown Technical College, and Conway, the neighboring school there, and Coastal allowed me to teach two courses, two business courses, there at the college in 2004. In this past semester at the University of South Carolina, I taught an insurance class, a junior level class. So it's really meant something to me, so you can see I love and have a fondness for education and I think getting back involved, there's been a void in my life since I left public office in 2004, and I think this position on the Coastal Carolina Trustee Board would certainly fill that void. Thank you very much for your attention and time. And if I can answer any question, I'll be glad to.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Thank you very much. Representative Littlejohn, do you have any questions?
REPRESENTATIVE LITTLEJOHN: Mr. Chairman, I don't have anything. It looks good.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Thank you for offering. I don't have any either but I thank you for offering yourself to serve on the Coastal Carolina Board. Good luck to you. Thank you very much.
MR. GEORGE: Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Okay. Now we'll hear from Ms. Sanders. Now, Ms. Sanders, please stand. Ann Sanders?
MS. SANDERS: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Okay. I'll ask you the same questions I asked him. Do you have any health-related problems that would prevent you from serving as a full-time member of the Board?
MS. SANDERS: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: None. Do you have any hobbies or any conflicts of interest by any kind of occupation that would cause a conflict of interest by serving on that Board?
MS. SANDERS: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Do you hold any elected or appointed positions in your community now?
MS. SANDERS: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: None. Thank you. Well, give us a short statement, if you don't mind.
MS. SANDERS: Well, as you can see, Mr. Chairman, from my Letter of Intent, I, too, have served in the public sector for the past 31 years as Director of Planned and Behavioral Health Services. During that time I've had the opportunity to serve on numerous boards and commissions. I've been President of the South Carolina Behavioral Health Services Association, which is all the alcohol and drug abuse directors in the state. I have served two terms on our Chamber of Commerce, and during one of those terms I had the opportunity to serve as Chairman of the Education Committee. And in meeting with business and industries in our small rural county, I realize just how much education means in luring businesses to our communities. And especially communities like Clarendon County and most rural parts of our state we desperately need business and industry to come in and help our economy. And one of the complaints they have is we are not preparing our young people to meet those needs and, therefore, like in our county, [inaudible], we lost over I think a hundred slots in our county because we just didn't have the workforce that we needed. So I believe that education is extremely important, as you can see from my Letter of Intent, I got my original masters degree in counseling from the University of South Carolina and then went back at a much older age to get a second masters in human resource management. And I'm also a licensed professional counselor so I continue to get at least 60 hours of continuing education every year. I think that education is the key to economic success both in our counties, in our state, and certainly in our nation. I did not attend the Coastal Carolina University but I have watched with interest through the years how much they've grown. I know that Horry County is certainly growing. Every time you go it just seems like you don't know where anymore people are going to be placed in that area. But I believe that I, with my administrative background, and we've always had sound physical management at our agency, which is not always true sometimes of state and county agencies. So I believe that with that strong administrative background that I have the expertise to be a good board member and could contribute to this Board of Trustees.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Thank you very much. Representative Littlejohn, do you have any questions of Ms. Sanders?
REPRESENTATIVE LITTLEJOHN: I don't think so, Mr. Chairman. We've got two good people.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: All right. I would think so. I don't have any either, Ms. Sanders. Thank you for offering your services and, certainly, whichever one of you are elected to serve, it's fortunate to Coastal Carolina that we do have two good people wanting to fill the seat that was held by Representative Cathy Harvin, who resigned to run for the House after the untimely death of her husband.
REPRESENTATIVE LITTLEJOHN: How much time is left on that term, Mr. Chairman? Do you know?
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: I don't have it.
MS. FLOYD: I've got it written down. Is it two years?
MR. GEORGE: I was thinking it was two years.
REPRESENTATIVE LITTLEJOHN: Two years.
MS. FLOYD: '08? I believe it's '08.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: But to fill the unexpired term of Representative Harvin. Cathy Harvin. We thank both of you for coming and we thank you for your service.
MR. GEORGE: Thank you.
MS. SANDERS: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any other business to take care of?
MS. FLOYD: I'll be in touch when y'all can start asking for commitments.
MR. GEORGE: We can't ask for two today?
MS. FLOYD: No.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: With 170 to go. We'll put your statements in the journal next ...
MS. FLOYD: Ask Sonya, she's in charge. Can you do it by next Tuesday?
COURT REPORTER: Yes.
MS. FLOYD: Okay. So Thursday at noon.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: So next Thursday at twelve noon you may seek commitments. Now, when the election comes off, we'll have to let you know because it will be separate from the next election which will be held ...
MS. FLOYD: April the 4th.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: ... April the 4th. Yours will come later, a couple of three or four weeks after that.
MS. FLOYD: Give you a little more time.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Gives you a little more time to solicit votes. Thank you very much.
MS. FLOYD: And I'll mail you a copy of the transcripts. Thank y'all.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any other business to take care of at this time?
REPRESENTATIVE LITTLEJOHN: No.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: If not, I'll call the meeting adjourned. Thank you for coming, Representative Littlejohn.

Pitts, Rhoad, Rice, Rivers, Rutherford, Sandifer, Scarborough, Scott, Simrill, Sinclair, Skelton, D. C. Smith, F. N. Smith, G. M. Smith, G. R. Smith, J. E. Smith, J. R. Smith, W. D. Smith, Stewart, Talley, Taylor, Thompson, Toole, Townsend, Tripp, Umphlett, Vaughn, Vick, Viers, Walker, Weeks, Whipper, White, Whitmire, Witherspoon and Young: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO REQUEST THAT THE GEORGETOWN COUNTY COUNCIL AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES NAME THE SAMPIT RIVER BOAT PARK LANDING PROJECT THE "CARROLL ASHMORE CAMPBELL MARINE COMPLEX" IN HONOR OF ONE OF THE PALMETTO STATE'S MOST BELOVED LEADERS.
Whereas, the Honorable Carroll Ashmore Campbell, Jr. was born in Greenville, South Carolina on July 24, 1940, the son of Carroll Ashmore and Anne Williams Campbell; and
Whereas, he was happily married to the former Iris Faye Rhodes of Liberty, and together they raised two sons, Carroll A. Campbell III and Richard Michael Campbell II; and
Whereas, Governor Campbell received a Masters of Arts degree from American University; and
Whereas, he served in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 1971 to 1974, served in the South Carolina Senate from 1977 to 1978, and served in the United States House of Representatives from 1978 to 1986; and
Whereas, in 1986 he was elected Governor of the State of South Carolina and was only the second individual to serve in this capacity for two terms; and
Whereas, he dedicated his life to serving his beloved Palmetto State and his country; and
Whereas, during his two terms as Governor, Carroll Campbell provided extraordinary leadership prior to, during, and in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo, one of the most trying times for the people of South Carolina; and
Whereas, Carroll Campbell's service as Governor also will be remembered as a period of unprecedented economic growth for our State; and
Whereas, he had a great love for the lowcounty. The Governor's Cup Bill Fishing Series, started by Governor Campbell, began at the Land's End Marina where he kept his boat for many years. This fishing tournament exemplifies the ideals of Georgetown County's Sampit River Boat Landing Project as it brought recognition to this area and promoted economic development; and
Whereas, the citizens of this State and nation lost one of its most beloved leaders in 2005 when Governor Campbell succumbed to the devastating effects of Alzheimer's Disease; and
Whereas, in light of Governor Campbell's personal commitment to the economic development of Georgetown County, it would be a fitting tribute to this great South Carolinian to name the Sampit River Boat Landing Project in Georgetown County in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Georgetown County Council and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources name the Sampit River Boat Landing Project the "Carroll Ashmore Campbell Marine Complex" in honor of one of South Carolina's most beloved leaders.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Georgetown County Council and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
The Concurrent Resolution was agreed to and ordered sent to the Senate.

A change in the employment hours, place of employment, status as a student, residence, place of worship, choice of legal counsel, or place authorized as part of court ordered visitation must be reported immediately to the department by the licensee.
(3) The fee for each special restricted driver's license is one hundred dollars.

I voted not to table this Amendment, in order to hear more debate, but in the final vote, I opposed the request for the following reasons:
The Center currently receives approximately 2 million dollars.
The request was not made during the committee process.
At present, collaboration of market research coupled with the business plan is lacking.
However, I do support funding for similar assistance for small business when coupled with market research and a commitment from the applying business entity. This would greatly increase the likelihood for the success of the business as well as the economic benefit to the community.
