Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter
The Senate assembled at 2:45 P.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned, and was called to order by the PRESIDENT Pro Tempore.
A quorum being present, the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:
The prophet Joel proclaims:
"Then afterward I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." (Joel 2:28)
Let us unite our hearts and minds as we bow in prayer:
Gracious God, such a challenging and difficult year has this Senate experienced. It seems that there are so very few easy answers to grab hold of; there are so many overwhelming issues yet to be confronted; there are so few dollars with which to do all that demands being done. In the midst of all of these hurdles, dear Lord, we pray that You will allow each of these Senators to continue to hold fast to that vision You have given them: a vision of what can still be, of what good can ultimately still be achieved, of a future wherein great benefits come to the people of South Carolina. Bind these leaders together in their mutual desire to make dreams real and to bring hope to life. May it always be so, dear Lord.
Amen.
The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.

At 4:49 P.M., Senator McCONNELL assumed the Chair.
The necessary two-thirds vote having been received, the veto of the Governor was overridden, and a message was sent to the House accordingly.
The Senate budget in FY2005-06 was $10,169,606. In the current fiscal year (2009-10), the Senate reduced its recurring base by about $3.8 million by using carry forwards so the recurring base could be utilized elsewhere in the budget. For the new fiscal year (2010-11), there will be few carry forward funds available. Hence, the recurring revenue base in the Senate budget must be restored to keep the Senate at about the same level where it was last year when the reserves were used. Thus, the Senate is shown at $12,330,194, which is less than the Senate budget was in fiscal year 2007-08. Over a six year period, the Senate budget has increased about 20%. During the same period the Governor's office budget has increased over 50%. The Senate FTEs have remained level while the Governor's office FTEs have increased from 19 to 37.
The House of Representatives' budget last year (2009-10) was increased by $7 million, which was not vetoed by the Governor. In 2010-11, the House budget was increased by $3.5 million. The Governor vetoed only $1.2 million of this increase, so they have sustained only a 10% reduction to their increases.
The Senate is a core function of government. Also, the Senate is facing unknown expenses because of engineering problems and construction deficiencies in the Senate Office Building. These costs also may have to be absorbed if the ongoing engineering studies confirm deficiencies.
Consequently, we voted to override the Governor's veto of $3 million from the Senate's budget because we believe that the veto
punishes the Senate for exercising frugality in these lean economic times. Management efficiencies have brought the Senate's operating costs down to 4% of the overall budget and the Senate has been able to draw on its rainy day funds to stave off any negative impacts from budget cuts of over $5 million the last two years. Unfortunately, the veto goes beyond what is manageable and will alter the Senate's operations for years to come. Ninety-six percent of the Senate budget funds are utilized for salaries and benefits for the members and staff. If this veto were to have been sustained, approximately 70% of the staff would have had to have been laid off for six months and others would have had to have been terminated. The few that remain would have been forced to take a large number of furlough days.
We have been frugal. But to sustain this veto would have cut into the constitutionally mandated core functions of the legislative branch, crippling the efficient functioning of the Senate and effectively shut down a co-equal branch of government, upending the balance of power envisioned by the framers of our Constitution.
I am convinced that the Senate's ability to perform its Constitutional role would have been severely compromised had this budget Veto 48 not been overridden. The carry forward account balances that were used to partially offset the negative effects of many consecutive budget cuts have been exhausted and without additional revenue the Senate would not have been able to perform many of its core functions as mandated in our Code of Laws and in our Constitution. I voted to override this veto because our Constitution specifies that we have functioning executive, judicial and legislative branches of government.
We voted to sustain the Governor. Sanford's Veto 48, the increase in the Senate's operating budget, for the following reasons:
First, at a time when the South Carolina General Assembly is making severe cuts to other state agency budgets - cuts that are resulting in massive government employee layoffs - it is important for State Senators to show that the Senate as an institution is willing to share the pain. State Senators lose credibility as leaders by increasing the Senate operating budget by 46% while other agencies that deliver core government services are having their budgets cut to the bone. As stated by the Governor, the money saved by forgoing this increase could be used to put 72 more troopers on the road, 64 more teachers in the
classroom or 184 more social services case workers to work in helping the neediest among us.
Second, we do not believe everything that was said in an attempt to justify this increase to the Senate's budget is completely accurate. For example, this increase has nothing to do with reapportionment, as some State Senators have claimed; the budget lists the dollars to be expended regarding reapportionment as a separate $1 million line-item appropriation. Nor does this increase have anything to do (nor should it) with the possible structural problems at the Gressette Building; at this point those problems are unknown and speculative, and at the time they are known, the amount for any repairs should be handled as a separate line-item appropriation.
Third, we believe the Senate had alternatives other than simply increasing its budget. For example, smaller increases could have been put in place gradually over a period of years rather than all at once. In addition, there should have been serious consideration given to curtailing some of the usual State Senator perquisites. By our estimation over $300,000 would be saved if House and Senate members received a per diem, within limits, only for their actual and verified food and lodging expenses, as required by private businesses and other government agencies, instead of giving legislators in excess of $130 each day the Senate or House is in session even when no food or lodging expense is incurred. And another half million would have been saved if State Senators had forgone next year's in-district expense allowance.
Unfortunately, the Senate refused to consider even the most modest of perquisite curtailments. On April 28, 2010, the Senate voted down a modest proposal (Amendment No. 36 to H. 4657) sponsored by Senators MASSEY and SHEHEEN, for which we voted, to cut $100, or 10%, off our monthly in-district expense. And no consideration was given to State Senators doing without page services for the next fiscal year, as Senator ROSE has done for almost all of the past two years. Even these mostly symbolic gestures, had we implemented them, would have given the Senate more credibility with South Carolinians both in and out of state government.
Fourth, when faced with current budget constraints, we believe the Senate could have, and should have, adopted appropriate paradigm shifts in how it conducts its business, as other state agencies faced with steep budget cuts have been forced to do. One idea that deserves consideration is adopting a budget every two years and the legislature meeting only every other year, as are done in Texas. Simply increasing
the Senate's budget by 46% will lead to business as usual without consideration being given to possible paradigm shifts; an opportunity to improve the efficiency with which the Senate conducts business on behalf of the people of South Carolina was lost due to the Senate financing its old way of doing business.

The necessary two-thirds vote having been received, the veto of the Governor was overridden, and a message was sent to the House accordingly.
At the time of this vote, we had conflicting information. We were told that these funds were necessary for the required reapportionment of census based legislative district lines. If these funds were not allocated, then the Obama administration's Justice Department would draw the voting districts for South Carolina. We were unable to verify this information at the time of the vote, and, therefore, found it necessary to abstain.
