Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The Senate assembled at 12:00 Noon, the hour to which it stood adjourned, and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.

A quorum being present, the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:

Deuteronomy 4:9b

We read how Moses reminded the people of old to keep alive the truths that matter most, urging them to "Teach them to your children and to their children after them."

Let us pray. Gracious God, as we begin a new legislative session, help us ponder the truths that matter most...the truths that we would like to live by and teach to our children and grandchildren; the truths that can guide our hearts and minds each day in this Chamber. May we prayerfully consider these truths found in scripture: That God is love and anyone who abides in love, abides in God and God abides in them, that we are to forgive one another as God has forgiven us and that we are to encourage one another and build each other up as God has encouraged us.

Loving God, may these words from Your Scripture empower each Senator here to love, forgive and encourage one another as they seek to serve You in word and deed. For it is in Your holy name we pray, Amen

The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.

Senator LEATHERMAN rose for an Expression of Personal Interest.

Remarks by Senator LEATHERMAN, President Pro Tempore

I rise today to discuss the issue that has been front and center for each of us this past fall and likely to consume much of our time this session. That issue is, of course, the aftermath of the VC Summer nuclear debacle. I am not asking for a specific course of action, but rather to simply ask while we address this issue that "the Senate be the Senate."
  We are faced with a once in a generation problem that also affords us a once in a generation opportunity -- to make corrections to our utility laws. This we must do! It is an opportunity that we must not miss or misuse because of haste.
  As we begin the process of addressing the VC Summer debacle, I ask that the Senate continue to be the deliberative Body. The call for the Senate to be a deliberative Body is an admonition sent straight from our founding fathers to each succeeding generation. We need the Senate to take its time to ensure that the decisions that we make are well thought out and take into account more than just political expediency.
  There will be the inevitable calls for quick action by some. Those shouts from across the hall are part of their job. Not heeding those calls without good reason is part of ours. Acting quickly to satisfy the whims of the moment will not be our primary concern. As always, our mantra should be that "correct action is more important than quick action." But let me also add this. While we will not be governed by artificial deadlines in order to make hasty and perhaps ill-informed decisions, we will also not be constrained by ending points that would frustrate our ability to solve these issues. If these issues are not completed and need to be completed for our citizens, we will stay here or we will come back to finish what needs to be done.

I want to thank the members of the VC Summer Senate special committee and the committee's co-chairs, Senator SETZLER and Senator MASSEY, for their yeoman efforts. They along with Senators RANKIN, ALEXANDER, HUTTO, CAMPBELL, SCOTT, GREGORY, BENNETT, SAAB, FANNING and GOLDFINCH spent countless hours taking testimony and poring through mountains of

documents to find out what happened and why. Based on that exhaustive work, they have several pieces of legislation that they recommend to the Senate for our consideration.

I am requesting that as the Judiciary Committee and then the full Senate begin consideration of what to do in response to VC Summer, that we make our primary consideration what is in the best interests of our state's ratepayers. In taking action, I hope that we take into account, that we need to ensure we don't hurt our ability to attract and retain business. Those jobs are important to our citizens' futures; we don't do anything to hurt the future of power in our State, because our ratepayers need to know that when a switch is flipped that the lights will come on. Finally, we need to make sure that our ratepayers pay no more for electricity than our neighbors do.

We also need to look at Santee Cooper with fresh eyes and make a determination of whether it is a beneficial asset for South Carolina to keep. If it is not, we should look to see if and how it can be fixed without risking the billions in bonds that are outstanding or do we consider whether the State continues to operate a public utility.
  These are monumental decisions. These are the decisions that the Senate was designed to make and that we will make correctly.

I am asking the VC Summer Senate special committee to reconvene to bring Dominion Energy to explain their offer to purchase SCANA and what their offer means to the customers of SCANA and what it means for winding down the VC Summer debacle. Thank you.

On motion of Senator MARTIN, with unanimous consent, the remarks of Senator LEATHERMAN, were ordered printed in the Journal.

Senator CAMPSEN rose for an Expression of Personal Interest.

Senator CROMER rose for an Expression of Personal Interest.

Senator MASSEY rose for an Expression of Personal Interest.

Thank you, Mr. PRESIDENT. I want to take a few minutes if I can and follow up on Senator LEATHERMAN's comments about V.C. Summer and, in particular, I want to make sure first of all that everybody's heard about the offer that's pending right now from Dominion. There are some people who have heard more about it than others. Obviously that's one of the things that I have learned throughout this process -- that where you get your news has a big impact on what you've heard about this. If you get your news out of the Upstate, or maybe in the Pee Dee, or over on the Coast, you may not have heard as much about V.C. Summer as some of the rest of us who get our news from the Midlands or in the Charleston area. It's been in the newspapers about every day for the last several months. But I'm happy to, and I know Senator SETZLER is also, to talk about the specifics of things that this committee dealt with and what we learned. I wanted to say, first of all, that it was a real learning experience. I learned a lot more about utility regulation than I quite honestly ever really cared to know.

But, first thing I wanted to say is, we know that the Dominion offer is out there. Senator LEATHERMAN asked that we be deliberative -- that we consider these things. I think that's important. I will tell you this is gearing up to be a hugely lobbied effort. There are a lot of lobbyists that are going to be involved in this. You are going to get a lot of information about it. My request is that you not make a decision on anything until you've had the opportunity to hear a lot more. You are going to get one version of things. I promise you, there is more than one version. Because I will tell you, on the face of it, telling customers that they are going to get a $1,000 refund and how their bill will be lowered is pretty appealing. If you don't know all that is behind it, that's a very appealing offer. But I promise you there is a lot more to it than just that. So I'd encourage you just to listen to everybody. Listen to whatever comes, but don't make a decision yet. Senator LEATHERMAN said he's asked the special investigative committee to reconvene in order to specifically question Dominion and SCANA about the details of that offer. When we do that, we are going to try to publicize those meetings so that people who are not on the committee can come and listen, because I think it's very important that everybody learn as much about this as possible. Some of us have just had more of an opportunity to learn about it than others. There is a whole lot of information out there, and I agree with what Senator LEATHERMAN said -- this is a really big deal. The decisions that we are going to be asked to make and the legislation that we are going to discuss will have immediate consequences for customers and

employees. But they also have long-term consequences for our State as a whole. There are a lot of unknowns, and I think it's important that we all understand what those consequences are as best we can.

One of the more difficult things that Senator SETZLER and I have been struggling with these last few months is that there are so many unknowns. We are forced to try to guess on some stuff, and that's tough. Especially on something that is potentially as consequential as this. There are a lot of things to be talked about with Santee Cooper. I am glad that Senator LEATHERMAN brought those things up. I will tell you, I haven't made a decision on Santee Cooper yet. Senator SETZLER may want to speak on this, as well. But I think most of us feel, even though we have heard a lot of stuff from Santee Cooper, there is more we need to get. This has been a very interesting learning experience about how the debacle happened, how we got to where we are procedurally, how we got to where we are substantively, and how we started with this process. I mean how the utility started with this process from when they began pushing the Base Load Review Act 11 years ago, how that played out, and then to what they were able to do with the Base Load Review Act that probably surprised a lot of people who voted on it. Some things have happened in the interim. Now, I have a lot of opinions about these things. I know that other folks who served on the committee also have opinions about them. There are probably those who didn't serve on the committee who have opinions about things. I guarantee you that we are going to learn a lot more as this process goes on. Because this special committee is going to be looking specifically at the details of this offer that's on the table. The only reason that we are involved in that is because it affects legislation that we are dealing with and it requires regulatory approval, but it specifically deals with legislation that we are dealing with. I will mention that again in just a second. So that's what the special committee is going to be looking at -- specifically, just the details of that deal. The Judiciary Committee is going to be looking at specific legislation. There are a couple of Bills that were introduced on the Senate side. There were lots of Bills that were introduced on the House side. From what we hear, the House is likely to pass every one of those next week. It is all going to be on us, folks. The decisions on this are going to be made in the Senate. So it's going to be really big. That's why they are going to be concentrating their lobbying efforts on the Senate. If you have not already been lobbied on this, it's coming. Prepare for it. It will probably be one of the most intense lobbying efforts you have ever seen. I will tell you real quick, that I think the big fight on this is going on our side. There are a lot of different issues and Bills. There is one Bill and

one issue in particular where the big fight rests, where they have drawn the line, and that is -- can SCANA or Dominion or whomever continue charging customers for V.C. Summer? That is going to be the issue where the fight is. You are going to get lots of opinions on why that's a good thing or why that's a bad thing. But that is the issue. That's the issue that's going to decide everything, I think. I just wanted to say -- I'm happy to talk about what we learned. We can go from the very beginning through the very end. We can answer whatever questions as best we can. Hopefully between Senator SETZLER, myself, and the other committee members, could answer the questions that you have. But I want to share with you the information that we've learned. It is probably a lengthy process and I could stand up here for a while and talk about that. But I will tell you that you are going to have some pretty intense lobbying efforts on this matter. It is going to be primarily about that one issue. I just ask that everybody listen to what anybody wants to tell you. But don't make a decision too quickly. Because again, this is some pretty serious stuff. It's got far-reaching consequences not only for the customers of SCANA and Santee Cooper, but also for the employees of SCANA and Santee Cooper. This issue has long-reaching consequences for the State as a whole. There are big issues to consider and significant consequences at stake. I will be happy to answer questions or we can put that off to another time. Listen to all the information that's out there, and then make the most informed decision you are able to after receiving as much information as you can.

On motion of Senator MARTIN, with unanimous consent, the remarks of Senator MASSEY, were ordered printed in the Journal.

Senator SETZLER rose for an Expression of Personal Interest.

Mr. PRESIDENT, ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, I appreciate the opportunity I have had to co-chair this committee with Senator MASSEY and work with him.

I do not recall, in my service in this Body, an issue of this magnitude and one that affects every single South Carolinian, whether you are served by SCANA, Santee Cooper, Duke Energy or by somebody else.
I do not believe this whole debacle only involves SCANA. As I have said in the committee, Santee Cooper is not without fault throughout this entire process. They knew as early as 2011, that they had a problem.

They could have come to the leadership of this General Assembly, to the PRESIDENT Pro Tempore, to the Speaker of the House and to the Governor and acknowledged the problems with a request for help. Instead, they continued to go forward.

Not only did Santee Cooper go forward, but they created three separate retirement systems for employees of Santee Cooper. Out of the 1,700 that work at Santee Cooper -- a state agency-- one of those retirement programs only applies to eight people, whereby the President of Santee Cooper choses the people that will participate in that retirement system. Out of the 1,700 that work at Santee Cooper -- a state agency -- the second retirement system only applies to between 20 and 25 people, whereby the President of Santee Cooper choses the people that will participate in that retirement system. How is this in the best interest of the State?

SCANA has its faults, as does Santee Cooper. The General Assembly has faults in the process, as does the Public Service Commission and the Office of Regulatory Staff.

The impact that this has had on Fairfield County is well known by the people of South Carolina. Senator FANNING made it very clear, throughout the five hearings our committee had, the impact of what this has had on Fairfield County including the loss of jobs, the loss of money to the school districts, and to the local economy. That is well known, but let me tell you what is not known.

SCANA serves about 23 counties in South Carolina and 700,000 customers. They own property all over South Carolina, but their headquarters, for those that do not know, is in my Senate district and is less than five-minute drive from where I grew up and where I currently live. On a five-mile stretch in Cayce, South Carolina, along 12th Street Extension, SCANA or one of its entities has 33 properties on 1800 acres. This is in the heart of where we live, and includes an assessed value of approximately $330 million. A large number of their employees live in my Senate district. I have talked with many of them, and they are concerned. They are not only concerned about the deal with Dominion, but they are concerned about their livelihood. They are concerned about ratepayers who are their next door neighbors, who are their friends, who are their church members and everyone that has been impacted by this. They care, and they need to be considered too.

Some ask why we are involved at all in a proposed deal between two private entities, SCANA and Dominion. These private entities have publicly said this deal is contingent on certain actions by the General Assembly, even though we do not have a right to vote on whether or not

this deal goes through. In addition, this issue is critically important and we will be faced with tough decisions as we move forward. Our rates have not been competitive in some cases and our decisions now will impact not only our ratepayers but also our children and grandchildren and economic development in this State. We should continue to focus on giving our citizens reasonably cost power, but there are huge issues involved as we go forward.

Is selling Santee Cooper the answer? I have listened to the testimony and I believe Santee Cooper will have to be reorganized if it is not sold. Is selling SCANA the answer? I believe we need to know the details and not just the bullet points. At this point, we do not know the details. I will give you an example. The press release says we will have a South Carolina headquarters. I am concerned and want to hear that the headquarters will be the facility that sits in my district. What about current employees? What happens if Dominion changes its mind, if SCANA changes its mind, if either party goes bankrupt? What refund will go to the ratepayer and how is the average ratepayer defined? Stockholders are predicted to receive how much, and what does that mean to the average South Carolinian? The ten biggest stockholders are institutional stockholders, and I am not worried about institutional stockholders. There is talk about write-off, and what impact will that have? Since day one we have heard the same arguments, and we are four months down the road with details we must still deal with.

When you are discussing this, and I do not care whether it is with a lobbyist, with SCANA, with Dominion, with Senator MASSEY, with Senator LEATHERMAN, with me or with anyone else, ask the in-depth questions and be sure that you understand not only the answer but how the answer links to the other issues involved. There are numerous issues, and they all interlock.

I have never seen anything as huge as this is in South Carolina. Fault is not the issue any more. The question is how do we move this State forward? It is not something that we can take lightly, and it is important. It is serious. It is about what is best for South Carolina. That is the only issue.

On motion of Senator MARTIN, with unanimous consent, the remarks of Senator SETZLER, were ordered printed in the Journal.

Senator FANNING rose for an Expression of Personal Interest.

Ladies and gentleman of the Senate, today we have been told to wait and take our time -- to allow time to go on so we can formulate our ideas. But this is the biggest fiasco in the history of South Carolina. We have people hurting right now all over South Carolina. And we talk about people hurting in the past, but we have millions of South Carolinians paying 18% more on utility bills today for reactors that have been abandoned for four months. They were abandoned on July 31st and Santee Cooper rates are still higher and SCANA rates are 18% higher. You tell your little old lady on a fixed income, age fill in the blank, that she is using this amount of money in utility each month and we're going to tack on 18%, which we have been doing for the last ten years. But theoretically, we told her at least she'd get some reactors out of it. And that little ole lady is continuing in September, in October, in November, in December, this month, next month to pay 18% more than the utility she used. Tell her we are going to take our time!

There are folks that are hurting right now and they can't wait. As bad as that is for many South Carolinians in your districts, it is desperately hurting Fairfield County. We have 5,650 people that worked in our county, that as of July 31st, no longer have jobs and are no longer working in our county. Their homes have been foreclosed. They have moved and they have left. And you make think, well, we are sorry Senator Fanning, we are so sorry that happened. That's unfortunately the price of business. But I don't call attention just to SCANA and just to those 5,650 -- we had small businesses in Fairfield County that had opened to serve guess who? Those 5,650 workers! We had other small businesses that needed those 5,650 workers to make ends meet. Our local restaurants are suffering. And I say that because we don't have a single chain restaurant in Fairfield County. Their profit margin might only be 10%, Senator PEELER but 10% will be the number of people who used to come in there from those reactors and they are going out of business. So tell our small businesses in Fairfield County to wait a little longer and let's take our time. Tell Fairfield County, Fairfield County has partnered with SCANA for four decades Unit 1 since the early 1980s. Our county has been a wonderful partner with Unit 1 that has produced cheap, clean nuclear energy for decades partnered with Fairfield County. And we were in the process for decades for the past decades for Unit 2 and 3. While we are moving slowly, Fairfield County has been left holding the bag. Fairfield County, I want to remind you, is located 30 minutes from where we sit right now. And that county that is as big as Chester, Lancaster or York in geographic needs, now has the ninth smallest

population in the State. Two-thirds of Fairfield County, thirty minutes from you, has no water or sewer. Fairfield County is suffering. We have the highest unemployment rate in the State. While we wait, this abandonment is killing our county's property tax base because as you can imagine, with ACT 388, we didn't have anything to tax except industry. And guess what our only industry is? The reactors. Again, this is the largest fiasco in the history of South Carolina. Millions of South Carolinians are affected by years, a decade, of nine rate increases in ten years. South Carolina has a duty to all rate payers in South Carolina. But also has a duty to the county that has housed this $9.5 billion investment. That is correct. In fact, I dare you to think and google while I speak and find another investment in the history of South Carolina that was more than $9.5 billion. $9.5 billion was invested in the two reactors that we're building that when complete would provide cheap, clean nuclear power for 80 years a piece. Instead of South Carolina buying power off the grid, South Carolina could be one of the few states that could be selling power off the grid. We are walking away from a $9.5 billion investment. Billions of this came directly from your constituents. If they're on an electric co-op, they paid. If they're a part of Santee Cooper, they paid. SCE&G, they paid. Billions of their dollars going to pay for this investment. So a couple of numbers for you today. First of all, the number 2 billion -- over ten years, nine rate increases. Your rate payers paid $2 billion dollars toward these reactors. Dominion, that you hear about, talks about a thousand dollars cash payout. That cash payout would make only 72% of that figure for an average typical rate payer. And you may say, well 72% sounds pretty good -- sounds like the best you can get. But that brings me to my second number, which is 18%. Remember your folks are continuing this month. Their utility bill is 18% higher than the utilities they've used to pay for two reactors they walked away from.

Senator HUTTO rose for an Expression of Personal Interest.

Senator SENN rose for an Expression of Personal Interest.

My colleagues, I am so glad to see you back here again today. I missed you. I am sorry that I am having to speak right off the bat on an issue that is not even relevant to Charleston County, but it is relevant to Orangeburg County which is where I was born into a family of farmers whom I love very much. In fact, I know some of them are up in the balcony today. They got in touch with me last year and were very concerned because of a similar Bill introduced last year. It was actually fought over in the House but it was not passed.

Historically what we have learned through the consolidation of schools -- schools in Orangeburg County in particular -- is that it does not save money. Several years ago there were six school districts. They were consolidated and did not save a dime. What my family and the folks in Orangeburg were concerned about and what they reached out to me about is that they had no idea that this legislation was even pending in the Senate. It sailed out of this deliberative Body as local legislation. Then the Bill got to the House. It wasn't until there was some type of shoving match, or something over with our colleagues across the hall, that it became pretty evident that there was something going on with this particular Bill -- and indeed it was controversial.

It is controversial with respect to my family. They are teachers. Some are teachers in the Branchville area and they have the number one performing district in that area. They are concerned that the number one performing district would then be led by the number two and three. And neither of which have great tract records. That is one of the major concerns.

They also recognize that what they did was allow children from other parts of the county to come into their school district, which was performing, and pay a mere $1,200 in order to attend better schools. Although some of the folks in Orangeburg County, including my family who are farmers, don't have extra money to send their kids to private school, but they have $1,200. Some kids drive 45 minutes to go to school in Branchville. They think they have a good thing happening. A bigger concern is they feel like it slid through in the middle of the night and that is not something that I think our Body intended.

So because of that, I would ask that we sustain the Governor's veto, in addition to the fact that it is local legislation and we all know it is unconstitutional. It does not deal with something similar to a blighted

Walmart -- it is vastly important to many of the kids in South Carolina. Thank you.

THE SENATE PROCEEDED TO A CONSIDERATION OF THE VETO.

June 9, 2017

The Honorable Kevin L. Bryant
President of the Senate
State House, First Floor, East Wing
Columbia, South Carolina 29201

Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate:

I am hereby vetoing and returning without my approval R-127, S. 662, which seeks to consolidate public school districts in Orangeburg County. While I commend the Orangeburg County Legislative Delegation ("Legislative Delegation") for endeavoring to address their local school issues, I must veto this Bill because it is unconstitutional as written. The out-of-control administrative costs exposed by the Abbeville case require urgent consideration, but as explained to the Bill's sponsor, I cannot sign a Bill with such clear-cut constitutional violations. Passing faulty law is not an acceptable remedy for years of inaction in our school districts. At present, Orangeburg County is divided into three distinct public school districts. This fractured arrangement has led to precisely the sort of wastefulness alluded to by the Supreme Court of South Carolina in the Abbeville litigation namely, "administrative costs which are disproportionate to the number of students served by [each] district, and which divert precious funding and resources from the classroom." Abbeville Cty. School Dist. v. State (Abbeville JI), 410 S.C. 619, 649, 767 S.E.2d 157, 172- 73 (2014). Unfortunately, as mentioned above, one aspect of the approach outlined in S. 662 is problematic and compels a veto. In order to coordinate and facilitate the consolidation of the three existing school districts, S. 662 creates the Orangeburg Consolidation Transition Committee ("Transition Committee"). To this end, the Transition Committee is charged with preparing a budget for submission to and approval by the Legislative Delegation. Simply put, our constitutional separation of powers prohibits local legislative delegations from retaining budgetary control. See Gould v. Bar/on, 256 S.C. 175, 201 -02, 181 S.E.2d 662, 674 (l 971)("The power to approve the budget of the commission carries with it the power to disapprove until the budget conforms to the legislative wish, and thereby places in the Legislative Delegation control of the administration of the funds of the

commission."); see also Charleston Cly. Parents for Public Schools, Inc. v. Moseley, 343 S.C. 509, 519, 541 S.E.2d 533, 539 (2001) (collecting cases). S. 662, like other Bills I have vetoed this session, attempts to vest the Legislative Delegation with the authority to both initiate and execute special legislation, in violation of Article I, Section 8 of the South Carolina Constitution.

I am committed to the education of South Carolina's children. If we are to remain competitive, we must find new and innovative solutions to address struggling schools. A South Carolina Department of Education study contemplates savings of $89 million over five years through consolidation efforts. However, we must accomplish these changes lawfully.

For the foregoing reasons, I am respectfully vetoing R-127, S. 662 and returning the same without my signature. I encourage S. 662's sponsors to send me revised legislation correcting this issue.
Yours very truly,
Henry McMaster
