Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 12:00 noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:

Our thought for today is from Isaiah 43:1b-3a: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God."
Let us pray. Loving God, we are grateful for this journey on which we have embarked, and for our traveling companions who make the travel easier just by their presence. Continue to bless and protect each one and go with these Representatives and staff until we meet again in these halls of government. Bless our nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff and all who serve in government and private enterprise. Protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad as they protect us. Hear our prayer, O Lord. 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 Thursday, June 21, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.

Rep. FUNDERBURK moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of W. Robert Byars, Sr., of West Columbia, which was agreed to.

The SPEAKER ordered the following Veto printed in the Journal:

June 27, 2007
The Honorable Robert W. Harrell, Jr.
South Carolina House of Representatives
508 Blatt Building
Columbia, South Carolina 29211

Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:

I am returning H. 3620 , R. 175, the Fiscal Year 2007-08 General Appropriations Act, with the line-item vetoes detailed below. If you have not done so, I would ask that you read the cover letter attached to each of these veto messages as it explains the larger rationale behind this year's vetoes. For those of you wanting more detail, you will find it on the following pages.

I would like to underscore my hope that we look at this exercise not as one about Executive Branch budget v. the Legislative Branch budget, but as a final opportunity to impact total spending.

The taxpayers of South Carolina sent an unprecedented $1.5 billion in new money to state government, a 23 percent increase over last year. This Appropriations Act represents a 15.7 percent spending increase over what is called last year's "recurring base" of expenditures - though if you factor in non-recurring and recurring spending, spending increases at 11 percent. The fundamental premise of this veto message - regardless of which growth number is used - is the same as our previous messages: this rate of increase in state government spending is not sustainable in the long-run, and for the good of both taxpayers and programs that help people in South Carolina, it's important that we further limit spending.

We believe state government should be limited to the rate of population growth plus inflation, which was roughly 5.5 percent in FY 2006-07. Accordingly, our FY 2007-08 Executive Budget hit that mark. Even while limiting our spending at this growth rate, we prepared a balanced state budget that restored monies to outstanding liabilities and provided essential services to the citizens of South Carolina in the priority areas of education, health care, public safety, social services, economic development, and natural resources.

Holding government's growth to population plus inflation growth is important because it ensures sustainability. In contrast, the practice of continuing to spend whatever comes in creates a fluctuating pattern of spending that overshoots spending in good times and cuts government to the bone in bad times. This feast or famine approach not only hurts the taxpayer, but some of the most vulnerable citizens who depend on government the most.

We also believe government should not grow faster than the incomes of the hard-working people of South Carolina, which grew at 6.2 percent last year. As mentioned earlier, depending on the numbers used, this budget reflects between an 11 percent and 15.7 percent increase in spending.

The spending difference between our Executive Budget and this budget is significant - about $625 million. Although many colleagues in the House or Senate may not view it this way, we very strongly attempted to find middle ground in our vetoes as they do not reflect what we would like in an ideal world, that is, limiting spending to population plus inflation. Some of the spending items are buried so deeply that reasonable cuts cannot be made without taking significant portions of worthwhile expenditures.

Despite these realities, we still managed to identify 243 vetoes representing $167 million in savings. Our goal here was to offer legislators the chance to bring spending back near to what the House originally proposed. We think this is important given the vast amounts of new revenue expected to come into our State this year.

Positives
Before I expand on the philosophy behind these vetoes, I want to underscore the importance of what the General Assembly did in joining us in funding many of the crucial education and health care items identified within our Executive Budget, as well as adding 100 new state troopers, and additional officers at SLED, the Department of Corrections, the Department of Juvenile Justice, and the Department of Natural Resources.

This budget also meets our goal of fully funding the increase in health care costs for state employees so they may continue to enjoy a reprieve from the significant increases in premiums that were seen prior to this administration. Additionally, while I agree with the idea of pay raises for deserving state employees, we disagree with the idea of across-the-board pay raises that do not recognize the distinct contributions of some employees versus others.

Finally, I want to thank the Legislature for setting aside $220 million for income and grocery tax relief and an $83 million installment for addressing the state's unfunded liabilities, including state retiree health care and pension programs and our college savings program.

Shortfalls

Unfortunately, this budget also falls short on several fronts. First, the level of new agency operational spending is unsustainable. The first evidence of this is the increase in "annualizations," a practice of using one-time money to pay for recurring obligations that ill positions the State for rough times in the event of a future downturn. They do this because of the way that they "borrow from Peter to pay Paul." I believe we must prepare for what will eventually be a slower economy, and this budget does not do this.

Secondly, many of the items that we veto do not go through the normal legislative channels, but instead are "pass throughs" to local governments, special purpose districts, and non-profit organizations. The aggregate "pass throughs" this year total approximately $135 million and often constitute expenditures without true accountability on how the money is spent. Many of these items are projects that are perfectly legitimate - but are the role of local, not state government.

Third, in a year of unparalleled revenue growth, I am troubled that certain important priorities defined within this year's Executive Budget, such as land fund acquisition, were not more fully funded.

Fourth, despite extraordinary revenue growth, the bill misses an opportunity to devote even more to the unfunded liabilities which could impact the state's financial future and bond credit ratings. Whether we were addressing the leftover unconstitutional deficits, or contributing sizable funds to the Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Trust Fund, this administration believes it is very important we tackle the state's unfunded liabilities.

Fifth, the General Assembly also misses an opportunity to be more targeted in returning money to the taxpayers, who are the producers of our state's soaring revenues. On this I will say again, though it was not targeted as I would have liked to have seen, I am pleased that the General Assembly devoted over $220 million to tax relief, including an $86 million income tax reduction and a $130 million grocery tax reduction. I specifically want to praise the House and its leader, Bobby Harrell, for the way they focused on this issue. While any tax relief is a victory for the taxpayers, the Appropriations Act missed the mark in improving our business climate by not devoting any dollars to reducing the state's top marginal rates. I again thank the House for their attempts here. Study after study shows that reducing top marginal rates is a key driver of sustained economic growth.

Let me go into each of these items in greater detail:
1.   Unsustainable Government Spending:
"The preservation of freedom is the protective reason for limiting and decentralizing governmental power. But there is also a constructive reason. The great advances of civilization, whether in architecture or painting, in science or in literature, in industry or agriculture, have never come from centralized government."
- Milton Friedman

Strong revenue growth is a sign that an economy is on the rise. Consumers spend more, incomes increase, and businesses flourish - which was clearly the story when our state's books closed at the end of the last fiscal year. In fact, the three primary revenue streams saw significant growth: sales tax revenue was up by 8.1 percent, individual income tax revenue was up 11.3 percent, and corporate income revenue went up by 33.0 percent. Looking at the big picture, the state closed the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, with total general fund revenues up $581 million from the previous year.

The Board of Economic Advisors is again predicting that future revenue growth will be strong, estimating the FY 2007-08 general fund revenue will be $1.3 billion, over a 22 percent increase from the previous year. Of this number, there will be $713 million in recurring dollars and $603 million in non-recurring dollars - for a total of $1,316 million in new money.[1] When adding several other non-recurring revenue sources, this amount grows to over $1.5 billion.

[1] This figure does not include Education Improvement Act (EIA), lottery, Contingency Reserve Fund, or Capital Reserve Fund dollars. Nor does it include the massive infusion of Federal and other fund sources which push the state's overall budget to around $20 billion.

While this estimate proves that the state economy is growing, I am again urging the General Assembly to display fiscal responsibility by using these vetoes to move expenditures closer to the growth of population plus inflation.
First Things First

More than anything, my vetoes reflect the principle of doing first things first. We believe we should better address the unfunded liabilities facing the state before we begin new and additional spending. Families across our state live by this principle. When times are tough, they may need to borrow from their savings in order to make ends meet, but when times get better those who manage their affairs prudently repay the borrowed money first. We should do the same in managing our financial affairs in Columbia given the fact today we owe payment for $18 billion worth of unfunded political promises.

Working with a spending cap, we proposed a balanced budget that did not raise taxes, addressed unfunded liabilities, permanently cut the top income tax bracket, provided for the Contingency Reserve Fund, and fully funded essential services in the priority areas of education, health care, public safety, social services, economic development, and natural resources.
Fiscal Discipline

Our Executive Budget holds FY 2007-08 spending growth to roughly the state's population plus inflation growth. As mentioned earlier, we do not believe state spending should grow faster than the income of the people asked to pay for it. A budget that outpaces the taxpayers' paying abilities is simply not sustainable.[2]

[2] While current state law provides for a liberal spending limitation, it allows unsustainable government growth. Under the current limit, state spending could have grown by $4.2 billion over FY 2006-07 levels. Revenues (i.e., taxes, fees) could be increased dramatically and still fallen short of the current limit.

According to the BEA at the time the Executive Budget was prepared, the population plus inflation growth for FY 2007-08 was 5.5 percent, which equals $336 million above the FY 2006-07 recurring base of $6.108 billion. The Conference budget grows annual agency operational spending 8.6 percent - or $524 million - above last year's recurring base.[3] In contrast, my recurring and non-recurring general fund spending plan limits growth to $336 million, the population plus inflation growth rate.

[3] This growth excludes tax relief, statutory funding requirements, and permanent funding for the OPEB Trust Fund.

The General Assembly's figure is 56 percent higher than the population plus inflation rate, but it does not represent all of the General Assembly's spending as their budget "spends" $437 million in non-recurring dollars. The Conference budget "spends" non-recurring funds on pass throughs, capital items, and agency operational spending, while our Executive Budget appropriated non-recurring funds for "fiscal house in order" items, such as the Tuition Prepayment Program deficit and the OPEB Trust Fund.
Total Growth

Last year, the General Assembly had around $427 million in one-time money. Taking out reasonable one-time expenses, the General Assembly spent around $260 million in non-recurring dollars. This year's Conference budget spends around 68 percent ($437 million total) more in non-recurring funds this year than last on pass through items, capital items, and agency operational costs.[4] Again, bear in mind that our Executive Budget constrained spending to population plus inflation and did not use any of the non-recurring funds for these items.

[4] The above growth numbers discount Capital Reserve Fund proceeds for this year ($112 million) as well as the Contingency Reserve Fund ($171 million). These items are discounted because both the Executive and the Legislative budgets utilize these funds during FY 2007-08.

If new recurring spending ($524 million) and new non-recurring spending ($437 million) are added to last year's recurring base ($6.108 billion), Conference budget growth would be 15.7 percent.

People may, in good faith, differ over the precise rate of growth in state government spending that is "reasonable and sustainable" - 5.5 percent, 6.5 percent or 7 percent. However, few would contend that a 15.7 or 11 percent growth rate is sustainable. We disagree with the idea of increasing state government spending at a rate that - whatever benchmark is used - is significantly greater than the people's ability to sustain it.

A report recently issued by the National Governor's Association shows that South Carolina's one-year spending growth was the fourth fastest in the nation. This figure should cause some concern.

South Carolina has overspent before and paid the price. In 1999 and 2000, spending grew by 11.4 percent and 12.2 percent, respectively - an almost 25 percent increase in two years. The economy slowed, as it inevitably does, and revenues could not keep pace with spending - particularly with annualizations. Consequently, the Budget and Control Board had to make painful and incredibly disruptive mid-year budget cuts.

The last point bears special emphasis: across-the-board mid-year budget cuts are extremely disruptive and poor stewardship of taxpayer dollars in that the most effective state programs are cut at the same rate as the most marginal programs.
The budget is $1,521 million above the previous budget high-water mark that some legislators often talk of "getting back to," as shown by the following chart:[5]

[5] It is also worth noting that the total state budget has increased from $15 billion to $20 billion since that previous "high-water mark," as a result of more money from the federal government and an increase in state government fees.

The rate of spending increases is probably the best indicator of unsustainability, but unsustainability may also be shown in total dollars spent. The budget contains over $625 million more in spending than our Executive Budget.
Compromise

I would like to veto all spending above that proposed in our Executive Budget, but in the end, my vetoes reflect a desire to meet in the middle by devoting $84 million more in non-recurring dollars to the OPEB trust fund, $21 million to fully eliminate the Tuition Prepayment Deficit, and $36 million more in recurring dollars of tax relief. My proposal combines $141 million in vetoes in this Appropriations bill with $26 million in vetoes in the Capital Reserve Fund Appropriations Act. Though the General Assembly did dedicate $20 million to eliminating the Tuition Prepayment Program, we would encourage it to take $21 million in savings through these vetoes and fully eliminate that deficit. The remaining $84 million in non-recurring vetoes, when combined with the existing $63 million of OPEB Trust Fund replenishment proposed by the General Assembly, brings us to over $147 million in set-aside for an OPEB Trust Fund in this budget cycle.

Finally, the $26 million in non-recurring savings from the Capital Reserve Fund, when combined with the existing $5 million set aside for the purchase of divested timber land proposed by the General Assembly, brings us to over $31 million to provide for enhancing quality of life opportunities to future generations of South Carolinians. Annualizations

Annualizations, the use of one-time money for recurring needs, continue to pose a problem for the General Assembly, and represent poor fiscal management. In the FY 2007-08 Appropriations Act, the General Assembly relied on $270 million in annualizations to balance their budget. Unfortunately, this year's annualizations are the highest they have been since Fiscal Year 2001-02, the same year the state ran an unconstitutional $155 million deficit.[6]

[6] In contrast to the General Assembly's annualizations level, the Executive Budget proposed using $73 million in one-time monies to fund recurring needs. This proposal represented the lowest annualizations level in well over a decade.

2.   "Pass through" Spending Accountability:
"A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both."

For the third year in a row, we used an "activity-based" approach whereby agencies were asked to break state government programs and processes down into roughly 1,600 separate and distinct activities. This process actually follows the path laid out by the legislative leadership when they announced their budget reform package in January 2001. Our administration embraced several of their proposed changes, including zero-based budgeting, sunset provisions, limiting growth in government spending, and curtailing the use of "one-time money" for recurring needs.

An intensive, activity-based budget method provides decision-makers - our administration, legislators, and public officials - with valuable information and data. The detailed cost data provided by the activity-based format gives decision-makers the opportunity to make optimal choices about how to allocate limited resources.

While I prefer an activity-based model, we are open to any process that causes policy makers and the public at large to scrutinize spending in government.

By providing state funds in the form of special projects to the tune of $135 million, the Legislature is unfortunately circumventing the limited accountability process that does exist in Columbia via the budget office. We believe this is a problem. Because of this prevalent practice of funding projects that have not been subjected to the full legislative vetting process, I signed Executive Order 2004-29 directing all Cabinet-level agencies to stop the practice of pass through funding. Unfortunately, legislatively-initiated "pass through" projects have continued without outcome or effectiveness requirements or any mechanism to show where there is a failure to link financial input to performance. In many cases, these projects could be funded at the local level, by user fees, competitive grant programs, or private contributions.

3.   Prioritization of Budget Items

In a year of unparalleled revenue growth, I am troubled that certain important priorities defined within this year's Executive Budget were underfunded or ignored completely. For example, we requested $20 million to purchase large tracts of divested timber land - a rare opportunity - that would provide quality of life opportunities to future generations. This appropriations bill funds that item at the reduced level of $5 million. Instead of more fully funding this item, the General Assembly devotes $2.5 million to the Department of Natural Resources for information technology upgrades. We respectfully disagree with this, given potential cost savings if the Department of Natural Resources merged its registration system with the DMV's Phoenix information technology system. Had this merger taken place, the savings may have prevented the need for the upgrades. At the same time, the Department of Agriculture is receiving $15 million in additional funding for what are essentially poor planning decisions related to the State Farmer's Market. These two items will affect relatively few South Carolinians but are funded at the expense of a purchase that would have provided quality of life opportunities for many more South Carolinians.

Beyond these examples, the budget not only continues the controversial Competitive Grants Program, but actually provides an additional $9 million.[7] Similarly, the budget underfunds the administrative costs for the Statewide Charter School District

[7] $34 million as a lapsed revenue source and $26 million currently available for grants

4.   Unfunded Liabilities

Regarding unfunded liabilities, serious challenges remain. Beginning next fiscal year, the Government Accounting Standards Board will require all states to account for unfunded liabilities. The Budget and Control Board recently approved a Cost of Living Adjustment for the state's retirees, which will add $250 million to our unfunded liabilities. The Other Post Employment Benefit Trust Fund (OPEB) has an outstanding unfunded liability of $9 billion, and the General Assembly only mustered $63 million for OPEB. All told our liabilities are approximately $18 billion in this category. In our Executive Budget, we appropriated $439 million to lower the outstanding OPEB debt, nearly seven times what the General Assembly allocated - and that was before the Board of Economic Advisors (BEA) certified an additional $245 million in non-recurring revenue.

A recent audit highlighted a sizable deficit in the Tuition Prepayment Program, whose funds will be exhausted by 2017. Our Executive Budget eliminated the program's $41 million deficit. Though the General Assembly devoted $20 million to eliminate this deficit, the unfortunate reality is that it neither covered the full liability nor established a tuition cap for existing participants in order keep costs down, simple must-do items in a year of plenty. Unfortunately, these problems are but a microcosm of higher education spending as a whole - much of which is as well on an uncontrollable and unsustainable spending course.

The $83 million used to cover some of our unfunded liabilities represents 5.5 percent of the $1.5 billion in "new" funds available in the appropriations and CRF bills. In contrast, our Executive Budget dedicated 43 percent of the new funds to this purpose.[8] As additional new monies have come into the state's coffers, we have consistently advocated for more funds to go to the unfunded liabilities. Both bodies took a step in the right direction - dedicating about $83 million. However, that is only a fraction of our outstanding unfunded liabilities. Obviously, more needs to be done to address these looming problems.

[8] The new funds are certified by the Board of Economic Advisors, and were not available during the Executive Budget preparation.

5.   Tax Relief

With $1.5 billion in new revenue streaming into Columbia, a primary goal of this administration is to give something significant back to the South Carolinians, the folks who sent in this money in the first place. Within this veto message, the $36 million in proposed recurring savings from the Appropriations Bill, when combined with the existing $220 million set aside for the elimination of the grocery tax and the reduction of the income tax proposed by the General Assembly, brings us to over $256 million in tax relief.

Speaker Harrell and others in the House in particular are to be commended for the way that they helped break the log jam in raising to $220 million the $24 million the Senate had originally proposed in tax relief to what now amounts to the largest recurring tax cut in our state's history.

6.   Economic Indicators suggest a need for restraint in governmental spending

Trees don't grow to the sky and gravity always works. We believe that the national economy is poised for a slow down and, for this reason alone, that it makes no sense to get ahead of ourselves on spending. The risks associated with a downturn in the economy are very real, and it makes no sense to plan as if budgets will continue to grow by ten percent indefinitely.
National Trade Deficit

South Carolina's economy is about more than just the financial and industrial situation within our borders; it is also about the effects from changing events at the national and international level. To this end, the U.S. trade deficit is a concern - hitting a level of over $62.4 billion in March, or an annual rate of almost $722.6 billion.
A Weak Dollar

Some say this comes as a consequence of federal spending, others the national debt, and still others say trade deficits and monetary policy. Whatever the reason, our dollar continues to weaken to the point that inflation may well become a problem in this economy. The federal deficit alone was over $765.3 billion for fiscal year 2006.
Rising Gas Prices and Increased Consumer Debt

Consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of all economic activity in this country. Two significant burdens on the consumer are having a negative impact - price of gasoline and the rising cost of consumer debt.

Mortgage debt increased $333 billion last year alone and overall household debt now totals about $2.17 trillion - or roughly 108.4 percent of personal income. Obviously, rising interest rates could increase monthly payments on this debt.

The bottom line is that we are concerned about the future of our economy. These economic pressures will likely slow consumer spending, produce a dramatic drag on the state's economy and, consequently, negatively affect the amount of money that comes into fund our state budget. Leadership means looking down the road at indicators like these when contemplating the appropriateness of this year's spending.

If we don't prepare ourselves for these sorts of possibilities, there is more than a reasonable chance that we will face events similar to what we saw less than ten years ago - dramatic cuts to the programs most important to the very people who need government's help the most in tough times. Therefore, holding the line on government spending and making sure that we have properly reserved funds for bad financial times is vitally important for both the taxpayer and those most in need of government's help. We also believe now is the time to start this preparation.

With these thoughts in mind, my vetoes are based on three simple ideas: (1) over time government shouldn't grow faster than the growth of people's wallets and pocketbooks; (2) tax dollars returned to the private sector stimulate economic growth; and (3) during years of strong revenue growth, we should do first things first and pay for the political promises on the table before we make new and additional ones.

We are vetoing this line for two reasons. This would be the first time state funds would go to support a Star Academy.

Two, this duplicates the efforts of the Education and Economic Development Act signed by this administration in 2005. We believe this funding will have the unintended effect of diluting the original intent of the Education and Economic Development Act, which is in part dedicated to increasing graduation rates, and will ultimately undermine the effectiveness of this program.

While we support the mission of the Star Academy, we believe we should focus our efforts on the broader Education and Economic Development Act.

South Carolina's higher education system is to be commended for its efforts to better prepare our young people for a brighter future. That being said, we question these specific items for two reasons: first, they fall way outside the core mission of educating students; and second, we believe following this path of haphazard higher education earmarking will have long-term repercussions - including continued tuition increases - for the state.

Higher education currently receives 19 percent of the total state budget, ranking us second in the Southeast in such spending as a percentage of the budget. Nationwide, only six states dedicate a greater percentage of their budget to higher education than South Carolina. Consider also that state universities are seeing an average 10 percent growth in state funding in this budget alone. If particular institutions believe that the individual programs we target have merit, there is more often than not a way to fund them through their existing budgets.

We are also concerned that these type of provisos may ultimately lead to increasing the tuition burden for students. Since 1990, South Carolina's in-state tuition at public schools has increased 244 percent. Last year, the Higher Education Pricing Index increased only 3.5 percent, while the average tuition for public four-year universities increased 12 percent - making us the highest among all Southeastern states for in-state tuition. Also, South Carolina's in-state tuition is double that of Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina - three states that dedicate a smaller portion of their budgets to higher education.

Since taking office, we have advocated for a more coordinated higher education system to better utilize the money in our education system - and therefore make it more affordable. Our concern has proven timely given a recent study of state higher education systems that gave South Carolina an "F" regarding affordability.

Having a post-secondary program will serve little purpose if our children cannot afford to participate.

We believe the core mission of higher education - including Francis Marion University - should be the education of students. While voter registration is a noble goal, it is not a core function of Francis Marion or any other higher education institution to increase political participation. Dollars in higher education are not unlimited, and we think designating funds to this program would stretch valuable resources and ultimately detract from the university's core educational function.

I am vetoing this funding because, while well-intended, it could have both long-term consequences on our ability to fund health care and to participate in private markets.

First, the change will increase the eligibility from 150 percent of poverty to 200 percent of poverty. We believe that the State should move cautiously in expanding this type of entitlement program. It was just a few short years ago that the General Assembly funded $500 million in the Medicaid program with one-time funds. In 2000, the Medicaid program comprised $1 out of every $7 in state funding; now the ratio I approximately $1 out of every $5. Even without this expansion in the State Child Health Insurance Program, projections show that the State could spend as much as $1 out of every $3 in the state budget.

We certainly understand the desire of some to expand this program, but our current program already covers a significant number of children relative to other states. For instance, the South Carolina program covers approximately 40 percent of all children ages 0-18; only Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Vermont and the District of Columbia cover a higher percentage. Regionally, South Carolina covers a higher percentage of children than Georgia, Florida, or North Carolina. Expanding this system would put us even further towards the top.

The House Budget included a logical provision that required co-payments based on income for participants in the system in an effort to make the cost of this expansion more affordable. However, the final version of the Conference Budget has no requirement for such payments, thus eliminating an important check on the growth of the program.
There is a certain crowd-out effect that is happening nationally as a result of SCHIP expansions. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has noted a reduction of children participating in private health insurance and that 50 percent of the children now enrolled in the State Child Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) were covered by private health insurance the prior year.

Finally, national trends are starting to raise concerns about the cost of the SCHIP in the halls of Congress. For the first four years of this program, there was more money for the program than cost of the enrolled children. However, starting in 2002, a deficit started to occur that was funded by dollar shifts from state to state. By the end of 2005, Congress was forced to spend more than $200 million to keep the program afloat. As the reauthorization of the legislation is being debated, we should take into consideration that national policymakers tend to cut programs in order to manage costs. Ultimately, that could leave South Carolina financing an even higher portion of the costs. We should monitor closely what Congress will ultimately do in terms of changes to the program before we make this sort of expansion.

Part IA; Section 8; page 90; Department of Health and Environmental Control; II. Programs & Services; B. Coastal Resource Improvement; Personal Service; New Positions; Environmental Engineer Associate; $140,764; (3.0 FTEs).
I am vetoing this item for two primary reasons. First, the impact to DHEC is negligible in that its total general fund budget is in excess $144 million; from these funds, the agency has the capacity to absorb the additional staff. For example, the agency will carry forward $550,425 of its existing budget, slightly more than the previous year.

In addition, while we agree that the stormwater permitting process should be expedited, we believe that the burden should be carried by those who benefit most directly from the service. At the Department of Motor Vehicles, we implemented a policy to expedite registration and titling documents, but instead of using taxpayer funds, we used fees to cover the costs of the additional benefit. DHEC should consider implementing a similar policy so that those looking for expedited permitting could pay for the enhanced service.

Part IA; Section 11; page 106; Department of Disabilities and Special Needs; II. Programs & Services; B. Mental Retardation Family Support Programs; 1. Children's Services; Special Items; $200,000.

The Special Olympics is an admirable program that provides tremendous value to those who participate in their events. Much of the same can be said, however, for many of the charitable organizations that help children or the disabled; many of which do not receive state funding. The Special Olympics organizations have a significant fundraising apparatus and receive a good deal of support from individual and corporate donations. Voluntary donations, in lieu of compulsory taxpayer funding, are to be encouraged, and increased funding does not promote that end.

Title   Arts Commission; McClellanville Arts Council
Veto 25   -   Removed From

Part IA; Section 18; page 132; Art Commission; II. Statewide Arts Services; Special Items; $12,500.

I am vetoing this item because it is unique in the case of local arts councils. It is the only local arts council that receives a separate and recurring line in the state budget. In addition, we believe that this type of funding should be competitively awarded.
Budget
Title   Forestry Commission; Fuel and Other Operating Costs
Veto 26   -   Removed From

Part IA; Section 21; page 141; Forestry Commission; I. Administration; Other Operating Expenses; $128,520.

Given that gas prices remain high, we are sympathetic to the Forestry Commission's desire for additional fuel funding. However, by providing this special allowance, the increased fuel costs are not being evenly distributed across state government. We believe this special allowance not provided to other state agencies is particularly inappropriate since the Forestry Commission's general fund budget has increased by 40 percent over the past three years.

These types of administrative costs further highlight the need to restructure state government. According to estimates, taxpayers would have saved $932,000 if we had brought Forestry Commission together with the Department of Natural Resources, which would have more than covered additional administrative costs like these.

Veto 28   -   Removed From

Part IA; Section 25; page 160; Sea Grant Consortium; I. Administration; Other Operating Expenses; Allocation to Other State Agencies; $43,750.

This Appropriation Bill provides for $134,000 in new recurring spending for the Sea Grant Consortium - a 24 percent increase over FY 2006-07 levels.

I'm vetoing this item because we don't believe this is a wise use of limited state dollars given the extraordinary amount of resources already dedicated for storm-proofing by the public and private sectors. Between the National Hurricane Program, FEMA and NOAA, more than $1 billion in grants and other assistance is already available. But a far more important driver toward this goal is ultimately the power of the marketplace. The fact that homebuilders, the insurance industry, homeowners, and businesses are compelled by their bottom lines to consistently seek ever-improving hurricane-resistant building methods and practices makes this expenditure, at best, one of minimal impact.

Part IA; Section 30; page 177; Judicial Department; V. Administration; C. Information Technology; Special Items; $500,000.

I'm vetoing this item because while this non-profit organization's stated goals are laudable, we do not believe that state government should be in the business of picking winners and losers by funding one non-profit over another. We also believe any investment in the private sector by the public sector ought to be made based upon anticipated and measurable outcomes. In this case, the funding is not tied to any specific expected outcome.

Veto 31   -   Removed From

Part IA; Section 35; page 182; Commission on Indigent Defense; I. Administration; Special Items; Criminal Domestic Violence; $1,320,000.

In 1993, Indigent Defense was established as a way for the state to help offset counties' expenses in death penalty cases. Since that time, growth in this program has far outpaced the growth in the number of death penalty cases in South Carolina because its role has morphed into one where the state is funding an ever-increasing portion of what had traditionally been and should continue to be the counties' responsibility.

This additional funding also sends a problematic message. This state has the unfortunate distinction of being near the top of the nation in both DUI-related deaths and domestic violence related deaths. It seems odd that we are dedicating more dollars toward defending offenses such as DUI in a year where much-needed DUI reform remains stuck in a Senate Subcommittee.

Part IA; Section 36; page 185; Department of Public Safety; II. Programs and Services; D. Bureau of Protective Services; Special Item; Hunley Security; $257,317.

South Carolina's taxpayers are and have been responsible for an enormous amount of money associated with raising and preserving the Hunley. After purchasing a museum for the vessel, the Peery collection of Confederate artifacts, and funding a $35 million dollar Clemson extension campus to be built around the North Charleston Hunley Conservation Laboratory, I believe that the taxpayers of this state have put more than enough money into this endeavor. There is also a question of fairness: we do not see protective services employed at a host of monuments and other places and settings that have significant value as well.

Part IA; Section 36B; page 190; Law Enforcement Training Council; II. Training; Personal Service; Administrative Specialist II; $20,000; (1.00 FTE).

Our administration has consistently supported the Council, requesting roughly $12 million in total funds for this year's budget - including a 14 percent increase in funding for training programs alone. Further, we are not opposed to funding these particular line items. But the Council's budget this year already funds an item called "Leadership Training." As such we're vetoing the two line appropriations above and would ask that if the Council still chooses to fund them, that it do so with money provided for that "Leadership Training" program. As well, the possibility of supplementing these programs with funds from the agencies that directly benefit from the services should be considered.

This new funding mirrors a proviso that would direct the Commission to essentially duplicate a number of functions already performed by the state's Department of Social Services, Department of Education, and the Employment Security Commission, and complemented by any number of non-profit organizations' efforts. While the goal of this proposal may have merit, taxpayers would be better-served by these agencies finding a way to accomplish this goal using their existing resources or by partnering with a non-profit entity.

Consumer Affairs' budget has already been increased by 18 percent or $615,000 this year. There is no reason why these items cannot be funded from this increased budget, especially in light of the fact that the number of complaints received and acted upon decreased from 6,926 in FY 2005 to 5,824 in FY 2006.

This appropriation is intended to meet South Carolina's obligation to adjacent states under the International Fuel Tax Agreement. This would be the first time that the Department of Transportation has received a separate line-item appropriation for this obligation. As a rule, this department is funded through gas tax revenues and federal grants, not by separate line-item appropriations. Absent a compelling reason for this line-item, I am vetoing it.
Budget
Title   Lieutenant Governor's Office; Security Detail
Veto 39   -   Removed From

Part IA; Section 57; page 264; Lieutenant Governor's Office; I. Administration; Other Operating Expenses; $112,173.

This line item increase is tied to a proviso which requires that SLED provide a security detail to the Lt. Governor in a manner agreed to by SLED and the Lt. Governor's Office and directs that SLED be reimbursed to offset the cost of the security detail in an amount agreed to by SLED and the Lt. Governor's Office from funds appropriated for this purpose.

Because I am vetoing the proviso, I am also vetoing this Part 1A increase. My problem with the Part 1A item/proviso is simply that we believe the taxpayers of this state should not have to pick up the $90,000 per year proposed for this security detail. To do so would cast the Lt. Governor as the only constitutional officer to be newly-assigned a detail, though other officers, like the Attorney General, have what most would agree a more demanding role in state government. Additionally, he would become the only person in state government with a constitutionally-defined part-time role to be assigned a security detail. This is not something offered to even the most powerful of legislative positions, like the House Speaker or the Senate Pro Tempore. As a rule, we are not a fan of Columbia traditions, but in this case, the course set sixteen years ago by the former Republican Lt. Governor Peeler is a tradition that should hold.

While we admire the mission of the Silver Haired Legislature, they often lobby the Legislature for programs that it believes benefit our state's senior population. I issued an executive order during my first year as Governor prohibiting cabinet agencies from hiring lobbyists because we do not believe that taxpayer funds should be used to advocate for more public funds, and for that reason I am vetoing this line.

Part IA; Section 60; page 269; State Treasurer's Office; III. Special Items; Prosecutor/Public Defender Public Service Incentive Program; $375,000.

This appropriation is related to a new proviso that directs the Attorney General's Office, the Prosecution Coordination Commission and the Commission on Indigent Defense to develop and implement a program that encourages attorneys to become prosecutors or public defenders, essentially by paying their student loans. We do not believe there is a need for the taxpayers to subsidize the education of lawyers, no matter how meritorious their practice.

Part IA; Section 61; page 276; Adjutant General's Office; X. State Guard; Other Operating Expenses; $114,792.

There is no doubt that the men and women of the National Guard make sacrifices in times of need both here and abroad. That said, crowd control training is one of the core functions of the South Carolina National Guard and should be funded from the Adjutant General's Office general budget - a budget that has increased by 20 percent in the last three years.

Veto 43   -   Removed From

Part IA; Section 62; page 278; Election Commission; VII. Non-Recurring Appropriations; 2008 Presidential Preference Primaries; $2,183,560.

This appropriation is tied to a new proviso that directs that the state Election Commission to conduct the 2008 Presidential Preference Primaries. I vetoed S.99, the legislation that authorized the state Election Commission to run these party primaries, because we do not believe that taxpayers should foot the bill for private political events, and I am vetoing this appropriation for the same reason. In addition, funding the primary with recurring funds has the net effect in that this will be an annual need, which it is not.
II.   Vetoes of Part 1B Temporary Provisos
Veto 44   Part 1B, Section 1.21, Department of Education, page 323; SDE: Mathematics and Science Unit of the Office of Curriculum and Standards.

I am vetoing this section because it reduces the percentage of our educational dollars that actually make it to the classroom. It also limits the flexibility of the State Department of Education's Office of Curriculum and Standards to determine the best use of curriculum development dollars by forcing the State Department of Education to allot funds for curriculum to support a particular facility.
Veto 45   Part 1B, Section 1.51, Department of Education, page 327; SDE: National Board Certification Incentive.
Veto 46   Part 1B, Section 1.52, Department of Education, page 328; SDE: National Board Certification Incentive Surplus.

These provisos provide additional funding for a National Board Certification program that already costs the state more than $50 million annually. Instead of automatically linking teachers' salary increases to gaining board certification, we favor providing incentives to reward excellence in teaching our children or to encourage service in our more challenged schools.
Veto 47   Part 1B, Section 1.82, Department of Education, page 337; Star Academy Match Requirement.
This proviso would define the match requirement of the Star Academy public/private partnership. I am vetoing this proviso since I am also vetoing the line-item associated with it.
Veto 48   Part 1B, Section 5K.1, University of South Carolina, page 363; Palmetto Poison Center.
I am vetoing this proviso since I am also vetoing the line-item associated with it. Palmetto Poison is a worthwhile program, but should be run by one of the state's health agencies, not a state university.
Veto 49   Part 1B, Section 5J.1, South Carolina State University, page 364; SCSU: BRIDGE Program.
I am vetoing this proviso since I am also vetoing the line-item associated with it. The associated appropriation is to SC State University for the BRIDGE program, an initiative designed to recruit minority high school students along the I-95 corridor into the teaching profession. Though well intentioned, this new program is duplicative of existing programs at other governmental agencies and non-profit organizations.
Veto 50   Part 1B, Section 8.12, Department of Health and Human Services, page 368; DHHS: Chiropractic Services.
I am vetoing this section because it unduly restricts the administrative flexibility of the Department of Health and Human Services. Due to federal Medicaid regulations and this proviso, if a service is provided to one class of beneficiaries, it must be provided to all - a rule that in this case resulted in DHHS spending approximately $90,000 last year to provide chiropractic services to children under the age of six. Provisos like this one result in outcomes that divert our scarce healthcare dollars in inefficient ways.
Veto 51   Part 1B, Section 8.26, Department of Health and Human Services, page 371; DHHS: Medicaid Quarterly Fiscal Impact Statements.
I am vetoing this section because it imposes an unnecessary administrative burden on DHHS. The department already provides Medicaid bulletins that announce benefit or rate changes to the House of Representatives and the Senate. In addition, Executive Order 2002-23 requires that DHHS prepare an annual report with the same information as required in this section.
Veto 52   Part 1B, Section 8.29, Department of Health and Human Services, page 372; Prevention Partnership Grants.

I am vetoing this so-called "competitive grants" program because it is not truly competitive. Of the $2 million set aside for this program, the proviso itself carves out $200,000 for the Eastover Medical Center and $1 million for HIV prevention. A competitive grants program with 60 percent of its funds committed in advance to specific projects is inconsistent with the stated objective of awarding the funds on a competitive basis.
Veto 53   Part 1B, Section 8.36, Department of Health and Human Services, page 373; State Children's Health Insurance Program.

I am vetoing this funding because, while well-intended, it could have both long-term consequences on our ability to fund health care and to participate in private markets.
First, the change will increase the eligibility from 150 percent of poverty to 200 percent of poverty. We believe that the State should move cautiously in expanding this type of entitlement program.

We should monitor closely what Congress will ultimately do in terms of changes to the program before we make this sort of expansion.

I am vetoing this proviso since I am also vetoing the line-item associated with it.
Veto 54   Part 1B, Section 9.43, Department of Health and Environmental Control, page 380; Beach Renourishment and Monitoring.

We believe that state funds for beach renourishment should be expended only in cases where there is an associated economic benefit or where it is necessary to protect an existing infrastructure investment. We believe that in cases where there is a low-density or marginal benefit, we are ultimately waging a war against nature that we will not win. We would urge the General Assembly to work with us to develop a more rational approach to funding beach renourishment so that there is a priority system in place before the funding is made available.
Veto 55   Part 1B, Section 10.16, Department of Mental Health, page 384; McCormick Satellite Clinic.

This proviso redirects $750,000 from the Williams Building Cooperative Ministries Homeless Shelter Renovation and Operation to a community mental health clinic in McCormick County and to homeless programs in the City of Columbia. Again, these programs may certainly have merit; however, we believe that programs like these should receive funding in a more competitive manner.
Veto 56   Part 1B, Section 13.19, Department of Social Services, page 389, C.R. Neal Learning Center.

I am vetoing this section because it directs the Department of Social Services to provide funding to C.R. Neal Learning Center, which no longer exists. Even though this program has been discontinued, this proviso requires that DSS continue providing $100,000 in TANF funding to the center.
Veto 57   Part 1B, Section 22.14, Department of Agriculture, page 395; Feed Label Registration.

I am vetoing this item because it is effectively a tax increase on feed manufacturers. The Department of Agriculture is already performing this indicated labeling function without these funds, and we would ask that they continue doing so.
Veto 58   Part 1B, Section 24.1, Department of Natural Resources, page 396; County Funds.
Veto 59   Part 1B, Section 24.2, Department of Natural Resources, page 396; DNR: County Game Funds/Equipment Purchase.

I am vetoing the above two provisos because we believe they are unconstitutional and, at the very least, hamstring the Department of Natural Resource's ability to manage its own affairs in the best interest of the taxpayer. In Knotts v. SCDNR, the Supreme Court found legislative execution of a nearly identical fund to be unconstitutional, declaring that the Legislature "may not undertake both to pass laws and to execute them by bestowing upon its own members functions belonging to other branches of government."
Veto 60   Part 1B, Section 26.5, Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, page 399; Litter Control.

PalmettoPride operated within the Governor's Office of Executive Policy and Programs until the General Assembly transferred the program to the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, wrote a charter, and established criteria for a board of directors. I believe this is a clear encroachment by the General Assembly into an executive branch program. In addition, this section perpetuates an agency that performs a function that could be performed more cost-effectively through the Department of Corrections.
Veto 61   Part 1B, Section 26.7, Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, page 400; State Park Privatization Approval.

This proviso was introduced in reaction to PRT's Request for Proposal to explore the feasibility of private operation of the golf course at Cheraw State Park to save money, and would tie the hands of the agency from pursuing any kind of competitive sourcing arrangement for any activity, no matter how minor, at any of its parks. Frankly, we're surprised by the resistance that a Republican-controlled General Assembly has shown to the idea of privatization, particularly considering the positive results it has yielded in other cases. PRT outsourced the Cheraw State Park golf course reservation system to a private contractor who provides that service for many other park systems around the country. The reaction from most of the park's customers has been positive as the change to a private contractor has led to vastly improved services, lower costs for taxpayers, and higher revenue. I strongly believe that officials at PRT should be free to pursue other similar arrangements to provide better services at lower costs.
Veto 62   Part 1B, Section 27.16, Department of Commerce, page 403; CMRC: SC World Trade Center.
Veto 63   Part 1B, Section 27.26, Department of Commerce, page 404; CMRC: World Trade Center.

These sections direct the Department of Commerce to pass-through $100,000 to the World Trade Center out of its operating budget. Although this project is aimed at the worthy goal of economic development, we do not believe the state should be in the business of picking one entity over another. As well, the idea should be explored of funding items like this should be funded on a competitive basis based upon projected rates of return, rather than on a line-item basis with no expected or measurable results.
Veto 64   Part 1B, Section 27.36, Department of Commerce, page 405; Economic Development Organizations.

This new proviso directs $3,000,000 toward six Regional Economic Development Organizations. While these organizations are in many cases doing a fine job in complementing the efforts of the Department of Commerce, funding them equally at the state level cuts against the notion of having a coordinated, statewide approach to economic development because each Alliance has a different mission that does not represent all areas of the state. In addition, there are counties that are not represented at all within these groups such as Beaufort, Jasper and Colleton.
Veto 65   Part 1B, Section 30.17, Judicial Department, page 407; Fathers and Families Initiative.

I'm vetoing this item for the same reason I vetoed its companion Part 1A Appropriation. While this private, non-profit organization's stated goals are laudable, we believe that state government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers by funding one non-profit over another. As well, we believe any investment in the private sector by the public sector ought to be made based upon anticipated and measurable outcomes. In this case, the funding is not tied to any specific expected outcome on the part of this initiative and is not something we should be asking the taxpayers to fund.
Veto 66   Part 1B, Section 37.21, Department of Corrections, page 423; Prison Industry Service Contracts.

I am vetoing this proviso because the language is no longer necessary after I signed S. 182, the Prison Industries legislation. This proviso conflicts with the statutory changes and is unneeded.
Veto 67   Part 1B, Section 37.33, Department of Corrections, page 425; R&E Units Medical Services.

This proviso authorizes the Department of Corrections to expend excess funds from the Prison Industries Account or the Canteen Account to contract for medical services and/or provide financial incentives to medical staff who work within the Reception and Evaluation Units of the department. According to the agency, this proviso is unnecessary since the appropriations bill funds the expansion of Reception and Evaluation services. It also encourages annualization problems by spending new revenues, which vary from year to year, on recurring expenses.
Veto 68   Part 1B, Section 37.34, Department of Corrections, page 425; Death Sentenced Prisoners.

I am vetoing this proviso as it is completely unnecessary. The Department of Corrections has operated a death row in this State since the reinstitution of the death penalty.
Veto 69   Part 1B, Section 37.36, Department of Corrections, page 425; Quota Elimination.

I am vetoing this proviso because I have concerns about the impact that this will have on the Department of Corrections. Throughout the course of this session, we have worked to try to reach an agreement with all parties involved to ensure a smooth and seamless transition of prisoners held at the local level to the Department of Corrections. However, this proviso gives the department little flexibility in accepting prisoners from around the State. In addition, this mandate will require an additional $1.2 million above the requested amount for Fiscal Year 2007-2008. However, this proviso supersedes all funding requirements and, in light of the fact that the Department of Corrections was not appropriately funded, I am left with little choice but to veto this proviso.
Veto 70   Part 1B, Section 39.20, Department of Juvenile Justice, page 430; ACES.

This new proviso directs the Department of Juvenile Justice to use $250,000 to conduct a pilot project using the Attitude, Communication, Emotions, Situations (ACES) Program to provide services to at-risk juveniles and their families. DJJ did not request this funding and it is yet another example of the State picking one non-profit program to the exclusion of others.
Veto 71   Part 1B, Section 41.5, Commission on Minority Affairs, page 431; Student Achievement and Vision Education.

This proviso mirrors new funding item that would direct the Commission to duplicate a number of functions already performed by the Department of Social Services, Department of Education, and the Employment Security Commission, and complemented by a number of non-profit organizations' efforts. While the goal of this proposal may have merit, taxpayers would be better-served by these other state agencies finding a way to accomplish this goal using their existing resources or by partnering with a non-profit entity.
Veto 72   Part 1B, Section 47.3, Department of Insurance, page 433; Agency Head Salary.

This proviso was amended in the Senate to ensure that salary of the Director of the Department of Insurance was set at a lower level than approved by the Budget and Control Board. The process of setting salaries requires approval by the Agency Head Salary Review Commission and the Budget and Control Board, as was the case here. Given the changing world of insurance in the post-Hurricane Katrina era, we felt it was important to draw in someone like Scott Richardson who carries a good deal of knowledge about the industry and could work closely with the General Assembly to adjust to changes in the volatile insurance market. The results speak for themselves. Just three weeks ago, I signed legislation that brought market-based reforms to the Coastal Property Insurance market.

This proviso is a mean-spirited attempt to undermine the process established by the General Assembly because one person did not like the outcome of the Budget and Control Board vote. We cannot seriously expect to attract the best and the brightest to state government if this is how they will be treated.
Veto 73   Part 1B, Section 51.6, Employment Security Commission, page 436; Unemployment Rate.

This new proviso directs the Employment Security Commission, whenever the unemployment rate is reported, to cite the Black Unemployment Rate. Differentiating unemployment by minority groups is disconnected from the obligation of the Employment Security Commission to address workforce development needs for all of South Carolina.
Veto 74   Part 1B, Section 53.16, Department of Transportation, page 438; Shop Road Farmers Market Bypass Carry Forward.

Given the cost overruns at the proposed market, it is beginning to appear that the state rushed into the new state Farmer's Market project without enough thought. As a result, the taxpayers are now on the hook for $20 million in excess of an initial estimated $30 million cost - a 66 percent cost overrun. These kinds of cost overruns would not be rewarded in the private sector, and we don't understand why we should do so in government. Additionally, last year, the General Assembly appropriated $1 million for road improvements near the Farmer's Market that went unused. The irony here is that taxpayers in Lexington would be forced to subsidize what will now prove to be a more expensive location in Richland County.
Instead of carrying these funds forward to next year, as this proviso allows, I am vetoing this item so that we have time to consider other, more viable options.
Veto 75   Part 1B, Section 54.26, Legislative Department, page 443; JCGAO.
This proviso once again demonstrates the need for the restructuring of state government. South Carolina is the only state in the Union that has a jointly-governed agency that handles the administrative duties of state government. Many of those duties are primarily Executive Branch in nature and yet, for some reason, there are those who oppose the fundamental concept of three co-equal branches of government. The net result is one of the largest agency budgets in the State under the control of a fractured five-member board.
In an effort to look at the operations of the agency, we created the Government Efficiency and Accountability Review Committee, to make recommendations to improve performance at the Budget and Control Board. In response, this proviso was inserted to add yet another layer of micromanagement to anything related to the Budget and Control Board, which is, supposedly, an Executive Branch agency.
The General Assembly already has the capacity to receive and review this report without the need for the creation of another committee to oversee a review committee.
Veto 76   Part 1B, Section 61.12, Adjutant General's Office, page 455; Citadel -S.C. National Guard Readiness Center.
This proviso is not quite as advertised. The construction at the Citadel is a new six-story, 150,000 square foot joint-use facility that will be developed adjacent to Johnson Hagood stadium and shared by both the South Carolina National Guard and the Citadel. A majority of the building is dedicated to space for operations of the stadium, including a press box and sky boxes. A much smaller portion of the building will be used for the South Carolina National Guard's new local administrative headquarters.
This appropriation seems more like stadium rather than armory construction, which begs the question of whether this project truly represents the best use of emergency management funds. Beyond that, it creates duplication of services as our state already has a sufficient number of National Guard armories to accommodate its needs.
Veto 77   Part 1B, Section 62.14, Election Commission, page 458; Presidential Preference Primary.

This appropriation is tied to a new proviso that directs that the state Election Commission to conduct the 2008 Presidential Preference Primaries. I vetoed S.99, the legislation that authorized the state Election Commission to run these party primaries, because we do not believe that taxpayers should foot the bill for private political events, and I am vetoing this appropriation for the same reason. In addition, funding this appropriation from Part 1A sources has the effect of permanently increasing the state Election Commission's budget by the stated amount, despite the fact that the referenced primaries will be completed next year.
Veto 78   Part 1B, Section 63.3, Budget and Control Board, page 459; BCB Realignment.

This is another proviso intended to clamp down on the efficient administration of state government. In normal governmental operations, the Executive Branch is left to execute the laws and administer government, with the Legislature providing oversight of actions taken by the administration. Requiring approval of any efforts to reorganize an executive branch agency is not oversight, but an attempt to manage that agency. We believe these types of restrictions only serve to further hamper accountability in government and increase the costs of government.
Veto 79   Part 1B, Section 63.9, Budget and Control Board; page 460; BCB: Compensation - Agency Head Salary.

This proviso was amended in the Senate to ensure that salary of the Director of the Department of Insurance was set at a lower level than approved by the Budget and Control Board. The process of setting salaries requires approval by the Agency Head Salary Review Commission and the Budget and Control Board, as was the case here. Given the changing world of insurance in the post-Hurricane Katrina era, we felt it was important to draw in someone like Scott Richardson who carries a good deal of knowledge about the industry and could work closely with the General Assembly to adjust to changes in the volatile insurance market. The results speak for themselves. Just three weeks ago, I signed legislation that brought market-based reforms to the Coastal Property Insurance market.

This proviso is a mean-spirited attempt to undermine the process established by the General Assembly because one person did not like the outcome of the Budget and Control Board vote. We cannot seriously expect to attract the best and the brightest to state government if this is how they will be treated.
Veto 80   Part 1B, Section 63.33, Budget and Control Board; page 464; BCB: Sale of Surplus Real Property

Ultimately, all state-owned property belongs to the taxpayers of this state and is not the property of an agency. In previous years, we have worked with the General Assembly to liquidate surplus property and return those dividends back to the General Fund. However, this proviso allows agency heads to move assets and bring those dollars back into the agency outside of the normal budgetary process. We believe that agencies should not be in the land management business as a means to supplement budgetary needs and we also believe that there should not be motivation to hold onto additional property that needs to be sold.
Veto 81   Part 1B, Section 9.44, Department of Health and Environmental Control, page 380; Competitive Grants.
Veto 82   Part 1B, Section 26.6, Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, page 400; Competitive Grants.
Veto 83   Part 1B, Section 27.23, Department of Commerce, page 404; Competitive Grants.
Veto 84   Part 1B, Section 63.35, Budget and Control Board, page 465; BCB: Competitive Grants.
Veto 85   Part 1B, Section 63.37, Budget and Control Board, page 465; BCB: Grants Review Committee.

This program has been in operation for longer than a year now with more than $20 million being doled out to various entities around the state. Through the process, there have been questions linked to several of the awards and whether there were efforts made to circumvent the process established by the General Assembly.

Further, at the writing of this message, there are approximately 2,200 projects totaling over $350 million in requests for a program that would have, at most, $69 million to award. Half of the grants were submitted over a year ago and have not been considered by the committee, and it does not appear that they will.

In a little over twelve months, this so-called competitive grants program has become backlogged at the rate of five times the allotted money without a merit-based review process. We believe that this program should be ended once and for all.
Veto 86   Part 1B, Section 63.44, Budget and Control Board, page 467; BCB: Board Functions Privatization.

This is another proviso intended to clamp down on the effective administration of state government. In normal governmental operations, the Executive Branch is left to execute the laws and administer government, with the Legislature providing oversight of actions taken by the administration. Requiring approval of any efforts to reorganize an executive branch agency is not oversight, but an attempt to manage that agency. We believe these types of restrictions only serve to further hamper accountability in government and increase the costs of government.
Veto 87   Part 1B, Section 63.55, Budget and Control Board, page 470; BCB: Pacolet Sewer Project.

This proviso raises the troubling issue of local projects being funded statewide by taxpayers. While a sewer project in and of itself is likely meritorious, the funding source for such a localized project should be the community it directly benefits. The counties and municipalities, along with special purpose districts, have the authority under the Joint Authority Water and Sewer Act to team up and finance this project.
Veto 88   Part 1B, Section 63.59, Budget and Control Board, page 470; BCB: DOT Procurement Study.

A Legislative Audit Council report on the South Carolina Department of Transportation released just last fall identified multiple examples of waste, costing taxpayers over $60 million. This proviso would unnecessarily duplicate the efforts of last year's audit.
Veto 89   Part 1B, Section 72.101, General Provisions, page 500; LightRail.

Because I am vetoing the line item funding associated with this proviso, this section is not necessary. The associated expenditure is associated with the LightRail initiative, a broadband network that will link research partners Clemson, MUSC, and USC with their hospital research partners. While well-intentioned, this initiative should be handled by the CIO's office, which already has begun investing in a similar broadband infrastructure. It does not make sense to duplicate these efforts and create unnecessary competition with the work of an existing agency. Aside from that, South Carolina universities' research chairs program will be receiving $200 million by the year 2010 for research and development - a portion of which could be dedicated to LightRail or a similar program if they consider it necessary.
Veto 90   Part 1B, Section 72.102, General Provisions, page 500; Homeland Security Projects.

This proviso allows the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate to authorize funds for specific Homeland Security projects. Beyond the problem of consolidating considerable super-legislative powers in the hands of two individuals, this proviso also exempts any Homeland Security projects from normal procurement codes.
Veto 91   Part 1B, Section 72.103, General Provisions, page 501; Exemption From Sunday Sales Regulation.

This proviso amends current state law with regard to Sunday sales, but has the unintended consequence of suspending employee protections for conscientious objectors. The proviso suspends all of Chapter 1 of Title 53, which includes not only the restrictions and exemptions from the Sunday sales laws, but also strong employee protections to ensure that conscientious objectors are not subject to termination for observing the tenets of their religious faith.
While we can understand the desire by some folks to lift the Sunday sales restrictions, we would not want to gut the protections for employees who do not work on Sundays because of their religious beliefs.

In addition, we have procedural concerns in regard to how this proviso was debated and passed. We believe that the better policy in regard to a significant law change like this for it to be in a stand-alone Bill that goes through the complete legislative process.
Veto 92   Part 1B, Section 72.105, General Provisions, page 501; Employee Actions.

We believe a state agency must be accountable to the people. This proviso would remove the power of an agency board - in the case the Department of Health and Environmental Control - to either remove or reassign the commissioner, thus diminishing this accountability.
Again, this an attempt to further restrain the Executive Branch from making management decisions on its own. While we appreciate the work that the current commissioner does, no one in state government should be held to a lower standard and this proviso effectively does just that. That the agency is run by a board rather than directly reporting to the Governor is a flawed enough model to begin with, but enshrining an agency director in the job only serves to further diffuse responsibility.
Veto 93   Part 1B, Section 72.106, General Provisions, page 501; Academic Center.

By transferring $100,000 that was originally appropriated to USC Upstate to Spartanburg Community College to support the Academic Center, this proviso would undermine the principle of fiscal transparency in government. Funds allocated to USC Upstate should be used solely for and by the institution; likewise, funds intended to benefit a technical college should either be sent to the Technical and Comprehensive Education Board or funded directly to the institution.
Veto 94   Part 1B, Section 72.109, General Provisions, page 501; I-95 Corridor Study.

This proviso authorizes S.C. State and Francis Marion Universities to spend the funds appropriated for the I-95 Corridor Study to conduct a study to assess human development needs in the I-95 corridor. The activities specifically identified for analysis in this study are duplicative of services currently provided by other agencies and local governments.
Veto 95   Part 1B, Section 72.110, General Provision, page 502; Lt. Governor Security Detail.

This line item increase is tied to a proviso which requires that SLED provide a security detail to the Lt. Governor in a manner agreed to by SLED and the Lt. Governor's Office and directs that SLED be reimbursed to offset the cost of the security detail in an amount agreed to by SLED and the Lt. Governor's Office from funds appropriated for this purpose.

Because I am vetoing the proviso, I am also vetoing this Part 1A increase. My problem with the Part 1A item/proviso is simply that we believe the taxpayers of this State should not have to pick up the $90,000 per year proposed for this security detail. To do so would cast the Lt. Governor as the only constitutional officer to be newly-assigned a detail, though other officers, like the Attorney General, have what most would agree a more demanding role in state government. Additionally, he would become the only person in state government with a constitutionally-defined part-time role to be assigned a security detail. This is not something offered to even the most powerful of legislative positions, like the House Speaker or the Senate Pro Tempore. As a rule, we are not a fan of Columbia traditions, but in this case, the course set sixteen years ago by the former Republican Lt. Governor Peeler is a tradition that should hold.
Veto 96   Part 1B, Section 72.112, General Provisions, page 502; Prosecutors and Defenders Public Service Incentive Program.

We believe it is important to maintain a level playing field. This program uses taxpayer dollars to encourage attorneys to become prosecutors or public defenders, essentially by paying their student loans. We do not believe there is a need for the taxpayers to subsidize the education of lawyers, no matter how meritorious their practice.
Veto 97   Part 1B, Section 72.113, General Provisions, page 502; Attorney Dues.

Similar to the above proviso, this line item would allow state agencies that employ attorneys to use taxpayer funds to pay the S.C. Bar Association fees for their employees. Once again, we do not believe there is a need for the taxpayers to subsidize the education of lawyers, no matter how meritorious their practice.
III.   Vetoes of Part IB-Supplemental Section 73.12

In the section that follows, I veto $104 million in expenditures. In some cases, these vetoes do not represent an opinion on the merits of the associated projects, but rather a conviction that, in a year of extraordinary revenue growth, our budget should devote more revenues to unfunded liabilities that, if not addressed, will ultimately damage our financial future and bond credit ratings.

In budgeting, we have always believed in "first things first," that is, in taking care of past obligations before undertaking new ones. From addressing the unconstitutional deficit during the initial years of the administration to proposing this year a substantial payment toward the Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) trust fund, we have not shied away from tackling the state's unfunded liabilities.

An actuarial study shows that it will cost the state $536 million per year to fund the approximately $9 billion unfunded OPEB liability. No one disputes this fact. Working with $245 million less in recurring revenue than was ultimately certified for use by the Board of Economic Advisors and spent by the General Assembly, we committed $439 million to this liability in our executive budget. Yet the Legislature only managed to provide $63 million to the unfunded OPEB liability.

In a year of extraordinary, record-breaking revenue growth, we believe this is simply not acceptable. In the waning days of the past legislative session, we had hoped that an OPEB trust fund companion bill would pass to provide for an immediate shift of $137 million in excess reserves from the State Health Plan to this fund. But that Bill never passed and I remain concerned about the rating implications of not establishing an acceptable OPEB trust fund. The vetoes listed below are a direct result of the legislature failing to meet this need.

Our budgetary principle of "first things first" extends also to our treatment of the Tuition Prepayment Program. A FY 2004-05 audit revealed a $41 million deficit within the Tuition Prepayment Program. No one disputes this fact. In our executive budget - again, working with $245 million less in recurring revenue than was ultimately certified for use by the Board of Economic Advisors and spent by the General Assembly - the Tuition Prepayment Program's $41 million unfunded deficit is eliminated. Yet the General Assembly devoted only $20 million to this liability. The vetoes listed below are also a direct result of the legislature failing to meet this need.

This notion of "first things first" is something families in South Carolina live with every day. They might like to purchase a new car or take a vacation, but they don't because they may need to fix their leaking roof. Not purchasing a good or service doesn't mean the shopper views the item as bad; they just view it as something they can't purchase at the moment. It is the same for us with the vetoes below.

Though it is perfectly logical to market the "Made in South Carolina" brand, this item falls short on two fronts. First, the money is distributed to a single entity, which is supported by many of the manufacturing companies located in South Carolina. Collectively, private industry could come together and support this marketing campaign with asking the taxpayers to support such a venture.

In addition, the funding was moved from the Budget and Control Board to the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism and in neither case is there a logical connection to the manufacturing sector and building the economy. This is one of many examples in the budget, where, for reasons unknown to us, items directly related to economic development, the chief mission of the Department of Commerce are funded to entities other than Commerce. This further fracturing of the economic development mission will do little to create jobs and build the economy here in the State.

Veto 117   Part IB; Section 73; Proviso 73.12; page 511; Item Number 33(B); P32; Department of Commerce; Myrtle Beach Fixed Operator; $2,000,000.

This proviso appropriates $2 million in tax dollars for a fixed base operator in Myrtle Beach. Before requesting a significant public investment, this administration believes the free market system should always be the first avenue explored and adopted if they are able to do the job in a more efficient manner. Specifically, we would urge the Myrtle Beach International Airport to fully investigate the possibilities of private companies that may be interested in leasing space as a fixed based operator. This type of agreement would lead to a new revenue stream for current and future bond financing and would alleviate the use of taxpayer dollars.

I am vetoing this item because this funding, which was not competitively awarded is funneled through the budget of the Medical University of South Carolina to a private health care facility.

It is important to remember that the Medical University is the tip of the spear in terms of medical research and treatment in the State. There seems to be little logic in sending dollars, as a pass through from the MUSC budget into a single private facility.

Even more troubling is that this now provides a competitive advantage to a single private provider over all of the other private providers in the community. Health care is a fairly competitive marketplace and we should not allow tax dollars to pick one facility to the detriment of others.

When this idea was proposed three years ago, though I opposed the funding, we also got the Chairman of the Competitiveness Council to agree that this was short-term funding. In essence, this funding was the spark to light the fire, not the log to keep it burning.

Three years and $1.2 million later, this item continues to receive funding in the budget, even though the Competitiveness Council should be ready to move to the next level of private support. The ultimate problem with funding items like this is that they tend to continue in perpetuity without an expectation for results.

V.   Conclusion

For the reasons stated above, and pursuant to the authority granted to the Governor by Article IV, Section 21 of the South Carolina Constitution, I am vetoing the specific sections and items of H. 3620, R. 175, the Fiscal Year 2007-08 General Appropriations Act, as indicated. I look forward to working together in a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect toward the goal of disciplined budgetary practices and cooperative service to the citizens of South Carolina.

Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:

I am returning H. 3621 (Word version), R. 176, the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Capital Reserve Fund Appropriation Act, with the line-item vetoes detailed below. Of the $111,821,213 devoted to capital reserve fund spending, I believe the vetoed items represent a lower level of urgency than other more pressing agency needs throughout the State. Examples include our proposal to take advantage of a rare opportunity to purchase large tracts of divested timber land that will provide quality of life opportunities to future generations of South Carolinians, which we funded in our budget through the CRF at $20 million versus the Conference Committee Budget of $5 million. Also, whereas we set aside $8.5 million for the Department of Corrections for facility maintenance and repairs at the state's correctional facilities - an area that should certainly be addressed when economic times are good. The Conference Committee Budget only includes $2 million.

The under-funding of the latter of these two capital projects highlights the differences and opportunities associated with agency funding. While certain agencies have alternative funding streams available to them such as alumni support if a college or university, or fee income and patron support if a cultural event or destination, others such as the Departments of Corrections and Juvenile Justice have few options beyond state support. As a case in point, there will not likely be any alumni associations at either of the state's correctional agencies for the foreseeable future. Beyond alternative revenue streams, though, some of the projects that follow are of either a lower priority or have unresolved issues associated with them - such as the ever-expanding cost estimate of state farmer's market project.

Therefore, in an effort to better utilize the CRF for pressing capital needs, some of which have few funding alternatives beyond the State, I have set forth below the specific vetoes that, in the aggregate, eliminate spending of $26,175,000 in capital reserve funds. While some of these activities represent items that are worthwhile, the vast majority of what is represented in the proposed CRF Budget greatly outpace what we would recommend as a prudent approach to addressing the state's needs.
Veto 1   Section 1; Item 9; Lander University; Renovation Needs; $425,000.
Veto 2   Section 1; Item 10; Medical University of South Carolina; College of Dental Medicine Construction; $7,500,000.
Veto 3   Section 1; Item 18; Department of Disabilities and Special Needs; Camp Spearhead; $500,000.
Veto 4   Section 1; Item 20; State Museum Commission; Chapman Cultural Center; $3,000,000.
Veto 5   Section 1; Item 22; Department of Agriculture; State Farmers Market; $15,000,000.
Veto 6   Section 1; Item 24; Department of Consumer Affairs; Media Center; $200,000.

For the reasons state above, and pursuant to the authority granted to the Governor by Article IV, Section 21 of the South Carolina Constitution, I am vetoing the specific sections and items of H. 3621, R. 176, the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Capital Reserve Fund Appropriation Act, as indicated.

June 27, 2007
The Honorable Robert W. Harrell, Jr.
South Carolina House of Representatives
Post Office Box 11867
Columbia, South Carolina 29211

Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:

I am returning H. 3471 (Word version), R. 174, the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Contingency Reserve Fund Appropriation Act, with the line-item veto detailed below. Of the $171,541,103 devoted to contingency reserve fund spending, I believe the vetoed item is not as important as some other more pressing needs in the State.

Before outlining the reason for my veto of this expenditure, however, it is worth noting the areas of reserve fund spending in which we agree with the Legislature. For example, we proposed funding the Port Access Road in our Executive Budget due to the economic benefits that will accrue to the State as a result of an expanded port at the Navy Base in North Charleston; the General Assembly, in providing $167,541,103 for this road as a reserve fund appropriation, agreed.

That said, however, we also proposed in our Executive Budget the expenditure of $5,541,103 from the Contingency Reserve Fund to cover the cost of weigh-station improvements and expansions throughout the state. This proposed reserve fund appropriation was in addition to the $5 million in gas tax revenue that we also proposed be dedicated for this purpose. All told, we proposed in our Executive Budget a total expenditure of $10,541,103 by the Department of Transportation to shore up our state's aging weigh-station system.

The General Assembly appropriated only $6.7 million in the Conference Budget for these capital repairs, and we believe that the additional $4 million appropriation is necessary. Reestablishing the state's aging weigh stations, and with it a greater level of commercial enforcement, would reduce the deterioration of the state's roads and bridges, prolonging their useful life, and avoid costly and inconvenient repaving jobs. This would be a capital expenditure that would benefit the entire State.

By contrast, the General Assembly's $4 million appropriation from the Contingency Reserve Fund to the Lake Marion Water Authority is regional in scope and would benefit only a portion of the State. The ability of that water authority to provide water to the communities of Orangeburg, Clarendon and Calhoun is important to the development of those communities, but we believe that projects that are regional in their effect should primarily be paid for by the local communities that benefit from them. In our view, when it comes to expenditures from the Contingency Reserve Fund, a capital project that benefits the entire State is preferable to one that benefits only a particular region.

That is one reason why I have vetoed the referenced $4 million appropriation from the Contingency Reserve Fund to the Lake Marion Water Authority. Another reason is the fact that water authority has the ability to pay for capital improvements through funding streams generated by consumers of its water, whereas a project like the improvement of our aging weigh station system can only be funded by the government.

Therefore, in an effort to better utilize the Contingency Reserve Fund for pressing weight station needs, some of which have few funding alternatives beyond state, I have set forth below the specific veto that eliminates spending of $4,000,000 in contingency reserve funds appropriated to the Lake Marion Authority.
Veto 1   Section 1; Item 2; Budget and Control Board; Lake Marion Water Authority; $4,000,000.

For the reasons stated above, and pursuant to the authority granted to the Governor by Article IV, Section 21 of the South Carolina Constitution, I am vetoing the specific sections and items of H. 3471, R. 174, the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Contingency Reserve Fund Appropriation Act, as indicated. I look forward to working together toward the goal of disciplined budgetary practices and cooperative service to the citizens of South Carolina.

Sincerely,
Mark Sanford

June 27, 2007
The Honorable Robert W. Harrell, Jr.
Speaker of the House of Representatives
Post Office Box 11867
Columbia, South Carolina 29211

Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:

I am hereby vetoing and returning without my approval H. 3749 (Word version), R. 177.

There are a host of changes in H. 3749 that I believe deserve consideration and proper debate. This Bill, however, which started as a short Bill with only one section, is now a very different Bill with a laundry list of 70 sections that have not gotten the consideration they deserve in the legislative process.

We have already stated our objections to two of the provisions in this Bill - one relating to the construction of an amusement park and another related to tax incentives for a tire manufacturing plant - in the vetoes of both S. 91 and S. 243. Unfortunately, there are two additional provisions in this Bill that we find particularly objectionable with regard to incentives to retailers.

Most simply put, at what I would view as the very rotten core of this Bill, it does what we should never do to small businesses in our State - take their money to subsidize a large corporate competitor that could well put them out of business.

This Bill modifies a provision that I vetoed on two occasions during the last legislative session relating to incentives for Cabella's. We vetoed this provision because it effectively forced family-owned stores that have been in business for years to subsidize a large and well funded competitor. The unprecedented retail incentives that passed qualified for job tax credits for every full-time position created and up to a possible 50 cents in rebates on every dollar generated in sales tax for stores in Horry or Charleston County. We have never before used sales taxes in this way, and in total, taxpayers would have been saddled with almost $9 million in possible incentives in the first five years. Despite my objection, the provision became law.

This is true special interest legislation and instead of coming back to repeal this legislation, this Bill opens that incentive statewide in an effort to lure a Bass Pro Shop or Cabella's to another part of the State. As it does so companies like Sportsman's Warehouse are expanding to our State without these incentives. This Bill lowers the standards necessary to qualify for state money to appeal to more than just a Cabella's facility - and maintains the same sales tax provision that would direct dollars back to a retailer that qualifies for the incentive.

I laid out some of these concerns last year, but they bear repeating, in hopes that the General Assembly will, at some point, stop these provisions from taking effect.

We believe the State must embrace a more coordinated approach to economic development - the kind of approach envisioned by Carroll Campbell. South Carolina's commercial strategy should be vetted by the Department of Commerce rather than by whichever House or Senate member happens to be interested in a specific initiative. With regard to the state's economic development, it's inefficient and ultimately disadvantageous to have 170 "secretaries of commerce" rather than one secretary negotiating deals on behalf of the State. By removing the Department of Commerce from deals like the one proposed in this legislation, the Legislature forgoes the kind of full exploration needed to formulate an economic strategy beneficial to the entire State.

The legislation uses tax dollars to favor one retailer over another. We would welcome the company in question, but there are a lot of other great retailers operating in South Carolina who haven't been given the advantage of these kinds of tax incentives. It's extremely unfair to ask these retailers - who've been paying taxes in our State for a long time - to subsidize a competitor.

This Bill "guarantees" a qualifying company will be rebated back 50 percent of all sales tax revenue generated from their store. The previous legislation at least left a portion of this rebate up to the approval of Commerce's Coordinating Council. The present Bill, by contrast, would side-step that provision and mandate a possible $1.4 million be returned to qualifying companies - an advantage not afforded to other retailers. This sales tax provision is unprecedented, and will open Pandora's box going forward regarding sales tax exemptions.

This Bill grants these benefits before the store opens its doors and reaches any of the qualifying criteria. According to the Bill, the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism may grant a conditional certification if it "looks like" the store may meet requirements such as attracting 3.5 million visitors per year, investing a least $25 million, and reaching $33 million in sales. In addition, once the store is certified under this hypothetical scenario, there is no further certification process in years to come. In other words, a targeted firm will receive tax incentives with absolutely no accountability.

Consider this, by 2008, Cabella's and the store in question are on track to have a combined 82 stores across the country. If they each attract a minimum of three million visitors annually, as both companies claim, it would mean almost every man, woman, and child in the United States would have to visit one of their stores each year to fulfill the "tourism" criterion of this legislation. This seems extremely unlikely - and is not, in any case, the kind of standard on which the State ought to base its economic development policy.

Second, H. 3749 adds all retailers in counties that are "underdeveloped" and not traversed by interstate highways to the current list of retailers qualifying for an annual jobs tax credit. We believe retail investment follows disposable income: the more powerful a region's disposable income, the more likely a retailer will move into that region. North Carolina and Georgia have both espoused this philosophy by not adopting these incentives for retailers. Rather than incentives that are used to make the difference in whether or not an investment came to our State, this Bill would go further down the path of incentivizing investments already destined to come our way. If we're interested in benefiting these "underdeveloped" regions, we ought to concentrate on the income issue rather than targeting certain favored regions.

In short, providing incentives for stores such as Cabella's and other retailers elevates short-term advantages over our State's long-term economic competitiveness. Other states have caught on to this idea. Kentucky, for example, recently considered legislation to provide $20 million in tax incentives to Cabella's. That state's legislators rejected the proposal.

I would encourage the General Assembly to be more diligent when considering legislation of this kind. Making deals with specific firms is no substitute for formulating an economic development policy that benefits the whole State.

For these reasons, I am vetoing H. 3749, R. 177.

Sincerely,
Mark Sanford

The SPEAKER ordered the following Veto printed in the Journal:

June 22, 2007
The Honorable Robert W. Harrell, Jr.
South Carolina House of Representatives
Post Office Box 11867
Columbia, South Carolina 29211

Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:

I am hereby vetoing and returning without my approval H. 3124 (Word version), R. 173. I strongly support the expansion of educational choice for all South Carolina students. Unfortunately, a close examination of this Bill reveals that it would not provide true choice; it would inhibit it. H. 3124 would actually represent a step backwards in the education reform movement because it would create the illusion of reform where none would actually exist.

This Bill in many instances would lock at-risk students into an under-performing school in South Carolina. It would prevent working families from having the educational choices now afforded to the people who can afford the right house in the right school district. This Bill would codify the notion that the school rather than the parent should be in charge of picking which school is best for a child. This Bill would come with mandates, exemptions and capacity limits that make it completely ineffective in solving the educational needs of the students who are most at-risk.

I would like to more deeply explore the three most fundamental flaws in this Bill.

First, the choice provided by this Bill would be far too limited to have any effect. School transfer capacity is set at three (3%) percent of the highest enrollment over the preceding ten-year period, and a school only has to admit one percent of its prior year's enrollment. As well, schools would have three years to hit even these miniscule enrollment numbers. We now have 86,900 students trapped in the 503 low-performing schools of the state, and a recent survey of the 73 higher-achieving schools showed that enough space would exist for only about 3 percent of the 86,900.

Both proponents and opponents of this Bill acknowledge this lack of capacity. To his credit, Senator Grooms tried to address it through an amendment that would have provided very modest private-school scholarships to students enrolled in "needs improvement" public schools if: a) their family incomes were no more than twice the poverty rate; and b) their transfer requests to better public schools had been rejected. This common sense amendment, however, was rejected, as was a similar amendment in the House offered by Representative Edge.

Second, this Bill would establish a system in which choice is provided not to the parents who want and need it, but to the school districts and the State Department of Education. The experience of other states shows that real innovation from school choice programs is promoted from the bottom up, that is, by parents freely exercising a variety of choice options and deciding the best fit for their children. It is not the result of top-down decisions made by the school districts or the State Department of Education. This Bill would set up such a top-down system by providing many subjective reasons for the school districts to deny parents education choice for their children. For instance:
Section 59-62-20(1) lists various examples of what the term "school district choice programs" means, but does not mandate that the school districts make those choices available to all students at all grade levels.
Section 59-62-20(4) provides that "only permanent building structures may be included in the calculation of capacity," even in cases where the school is using non-permanent structures for its current population of students. For rapidly-growing school districts, portables are very common.
Section 59-62-70 (B)(1) provides the school districts with the flexibility to offer only a fraction of the capacity that the state department inventory identifies them as having.
Section 59-62-150 provides that the school districts' open enrollment obligations are "contingent upon the appropriation of adequate funding as documented by a fiscal impact statement...," with no indication of what "adequate" might mean.

In addition to the above, Section 59-62-70 provides the school districts not only with a list of reasons for denying a transfer request - lack of capacity, lack of equipment or programs, voluntary desegregation plans, low academic performance of applicant and applicant behavioral issues - but also with a very broad subjective catch-all that would justify a transfer denial if, in the judgment of the district, "the student does not meet established eligibility criteria for participation in a particular program, including age requirements, course prerequisites, or required levels of performance."

What H. 3124 would essentially do is codify and provide legitimacy to the subjective process already being used by many higher-performing public schools to select their students in existing choice programs - a selection process that more often than not freezes out the at-risk students who are most in need of better education choices.

Making the school districts - instead of parents - the drivers for education choice is especially troubling in light of the districts' failure to implement the public school choice provisions mandated by No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Even though NCLB requires that children in schools failing to make Adequate Yearly Progress be provided opportunities to receive either choice or supplemental services, last year barely one (1%) percent of the students in South Carolina eligible for these federally-funded opportunities actually accessed them. Equally troubling is the fact that the State Department of Education has, at the end of the day, always allowed the school districts to spend the federal dollars that had been set aside for choice on their status quo programs.

If the school districts did not provide, and the State Department of Education did not insist upon, the public choice mandates of NCLB, then there is no reason to believe that things will be better under H. 3124, which would provide the school districts with far more reasons to deny transfers than NCLB does.

Third, H. 3124 would create unfunded mandates. Many school districts fund their schools above and beyond the local maintenance of effort requirements of the state because their residents are willing to provide and have the ability to fund costlier options in efforts to improve student achievement (for example, by funding lower teacher-student ratios). Students transferring to such a district under the new open enrollment program would bring with them certain state dollars that are "attached" to them (such as the Base Student Cost), but the district would not be reimbursed one penny of the additional local money it would then be forced to expend to maintain their higher school standards.

This unfunded mandate was both acknowledged and quantified in the legislative process; the estimate provided to the Senate was that it would cost districts receiving transferees a total of $91 million dollars annually. Several legislators attempted to amend H. 3124 to hold the districts harmless from this unfunded mandate, but their efforts failed. As a result, I believe that the predictable response of the "receiving" school districts - even districts that truly want to include students who currently attend failing schools - would be to deny transfer requests in order to avoid the additional costs. I believe it is bad public policy to put these districts in such a position, yet that is an inevitable consequence given our present way of funding public education.

Despite these flaws, however, proponents of this Bill say that it would still represent a first step toward the goal of providing more educational choices, and should, therefore, be enacted. I believe the opposite is true - that H. 3124 would be a step backwards. If we put institutions that have historically been hostile to choice in charge of implementing that choice - if we settle for a system that would both motivate and better enable our best public schools to resist transfer requests from at-risk students now in poorer districts - then the journey toward real choice will have been stalled.

In a purely political sense, it would be easier for us and more expedient to pretend that H. 3124 is a true choice Bill. But if I added my signature to what amounts to a defeat for reform through a complex "bait and switch," nothing would ever change, and real choice would come even more slowly, leaving our children to languish in last place and in underperforming schools.

We must be honest about where South Carolina is relative to other states. After all, it is those states that are our competition in attracting the companies that will provide jobs for our children, and businesses cite workforce competence as a top motivator in location of industry. One-half of our high school freshmen do not graduate on time, making South Carolina's on-time graduation rate last in the nation. Of the students who do manage to remain in the schools, those who take the SAT and/or ACT score at the bottom in the nation. Studies show that South Carolina's best and brightest children - oftentimes from the highest-income and best-educated families - are actually farther behind their peers nationally than our lower-performing, lower-income children are.

The one ray of good news in all this is that the debate on how to improve our system of public education has clearly shifted. In passing H. 3124, the General Assembly has acknowledged that reform must involve more education choices. In pushing for its passage, our newly-installed Superintendent of Education has said that more choices would lead to more competition and, in turn, to increased quality and a reduction of costs. We agree on this principle, but unfortunately H. 3124 would not provide real choices to parents or promote fair competition - and to pretend otherwise would be a disservice to the public.

For all of the reasons outlined above, I am vetoing H. 3124, R. 173, and returning it without my signature.

Sincerely,
Mark Sanford
Governor

The following was received:

Columbia, S.C., June 28, 2007
Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:
The Senate respectfully informs your Honorable Body that it has overridden the Veto by the Governor on R. 164, S. 804 by a vote of 45 to 0:

(R164) S. 804 (Word version) -- Senator Alexander: AN ACT TO AMEND ACT 604 OF 1994, RELATING TO THE CREATION OF THE REGISTRATION AND ELECTIONS COMMISSION FOR OCONEE COUNTY, SO AS TO AUTHORIZE THE COMMISSION TO APPOINT AND REMOVE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.

Very respectfully,
President

The SPEAKER ordered the following Veto printed in the Journal:

June 26, 2007
The Honorable André Bauer
President of the Senate
State House, 1st Floor, East Wing
Columbia, South Carolina 29202

Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate:

I am hereby vetoing and returning without my signature S. 804 (Word version), R. 164.

This veto is based on my belief that this Bill is unconstitutional. S. 804, R. 164, proposes to authorize the Oconee County Registration and Elections Commission, created by unconstitutional special legislation through Act 604 of 1994, to appoint and remove the Executive Director. As such, this legislation affects only Oconee County and is, therefore, clearly an act for a specific county.

Such acts are in violation of Article VIII, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of South Carolina, which provides that "[n]o laws for a specific county shall be enacted." Acts similar to S. 804, R. 164, have been struck down by the South Carolina Supreme Court as violative of Article VIII, Section 7.

For this reason, I am vetoing and returning S. 804, R. 164, to you without my signature.

Sincerely,
Mark Sanford
Governor

The Veto on the following Act was taken up:

So, the Veto of the Governor was overridden and a message was ordered sent to the Senate accordingly.

The following was received:

Columbia, S.C., June 28, 2007
Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:
The Senate respectfully informs your Honorable Body that it has overridden the Veto by the Governor on R. 165, S. 816 by a vote of 45 to 0:

(R165) S. 816 (Word version) -- Senator Malloy: AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT EACH MEMBER OF THE DARLINGTON COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE SHALL BE ALLOWED AND PAID FROM DARLINGTON COUNTY "C" FUND REVENUES SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS FOR EACH MEETING AT WHICH HE IS IN ATTENDANCE, TO PROVIDE THAT THE COMMITTEE SHALL RECEIVE THE PAYMENT AUTHORIZED IN THIS ACT UPON ISSUANCE OF APPROVED VOUCHERS BY THE COMMITTEE'S CHAIRMAN, EXCEPT THAT THE CHAIRMAN MAY NOT APPROVE VOUCHERS IN ANY SINGLE FISCAL YEAR WHICH VOUCHERS AUTHORIZE PAYMENT FOR MORE THAN FIFTEEN MEETINGS PER FISCAL YEAR FOR EACH MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE, AND TO PROVIDE THAT THE CHAIRMAN OF THE DARLINGTON COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION SHALL BE AN EX OFFICIO NONVOTING MEMBER OF THE DARLINGTON COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE.

Very respectfully,
President

The SPEAKER ordered the following Veto printed in the Journal:

June 26, 2007
The Honorable André Bauer
President of the Senate
State House, 1st Floor, East Wing
Columbia, South Carolina 29202
Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate:

I am hereby returning without my approval S. 816 (Word version), R. 165. This veto is based upon my belief that S. 816, R. 165, is unconstitutional.

This Bill allows each member of the Darlington County Transportation Committee to be paid from Darlington County "C" Fund revenues $75 for each meeting in which the member is in attendance. The State Constitution clearly prohibits the enactment of special legislation where a "general law can be made applicable." See S.C. Const., Art. III, Section 34 (IX). The General Assembly has established a general statute that prohibits county transportation committees from using "C" funds to pay per diems as administrative expenses. See S.C. Code Section 12-28-2740(B), as amended. It is unconstitutional for the General Assembly to pass special legislation, like S. 816, R. 165, in contravention of general law. Each county's transportation committee should be subject to the same general law either allowing or disallowing per diems. Legislation like S. 816, R. 165, demonstrates the policy basis for Article III, Section 34's, directive that special legislation be avoided in all cases where general legislation can be enacted.

Additionally, S. 816, R. 165, affects only Darlington County and is, therefore, clearly an act for a specific county. Such acts are in violation of Article VIII, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of South Carolina, which provides that "[n]o laws for a specific county shall be enacted."

In summary, I believe the specific nature of S. 816, R. 165, renders this Act unconstitutional. For this reason, I am returning S. 816, R. 165, to you without my signature.

Sincerely,
Mark Sanford
Governor

In accordance with Section 8-13-700(B) of the S.C. Code, I abstained from voting on the below referenced Part, Section and/or amendment because of a potential conflict of interest and wish to have my recusal noted for the record in the House Journal of this date:
The reason for abstaining on the above referenced legislation is [check applicable reasons(s)]:

b.   A potential conflict may exist under S.C. Code Section 8-13-740(C) because of representation of a client before a particular agency or commission by me or an individual or business with whom I am associated within the past year.
c.   A potential conflict may exist under S.C. Code Section 8-13-745(C) because a contract for goods or services may be entered into within the next year with an agency, commission, board, department, or other entity funded through the general appropriation bill by myself, an individual with whom I am associated in partnership with or a business or partnership in which I have a greater than 5% interest.
