If the Republicans do not offer state sponsored casino gambling, Harpootlian will and in effect, a quorum in 2016 will electrify their base to put in “yes vote” legislators to amend the constitution for voters to decide in 2018. This will also coincide with a Gov/Lt Gov ticket. This issue could take power away from the GOP for the next 20 years unless the GOP gets in first. Your rebate fund is worthless in the face of another recession.
I wish they allowed voters to decide on more issues, it is obvious the legislators do not have the ability to make these decision, if they did our state wouldn’t be in such a mess.
Whether we actually get a rebate or not, I support the idea of drawing attention to wasteful spending, and “updating this list every time a South Carolina politician or bureaucrat announces or proposes “savings,” and will also be updating it when specific non-core budget appropriations are proposed.” If we don’t hold them accountable – then who?
Oh Damn. Man you nailed it Thomas. Like JIm Hodges and Lottery, school bus yellow bumper stickers and all…
so far, assuming we give this money out in rebates to everyone in a non weighted system so as to not account for how much you paid in in the first place, we are up to about 10 bucks per tax payer. I will use my ten dollars to buy lottery tickets.
@ICOMMUTE….If that $10 makes you a winner are you going to give FITNEWS a cut? ;)
Don’t forget to take into account the cost of printing and mailing checks, plus working costs to formulate the rebate list and amount (which only gets worse if all of this shit is weighted).
Why don’t the state and federal gubmints sell off some of the trillions of dollars of forest lands to cut down some of the interest payments on the debt?
Sic Willie,
and the details of your rebate plan are??????? Still waiting.
Part of the “rebate” given to the newspaper industry is the sales tax on newspapers.
So to “save” taxpayers money, you propose an increase in the cost of newspapers, therefore costing taxpayers more money.
It would be the only tax levied on public information in the state. Are you willing to have your site taxed in a proportionate manner? Fair’s fair, right?
“As championed by Tom Davis”. Name one fucking thing he has accomplished. Let me save you some time. Not one damn thing.
SC can save approximately $200 million a year by doing away with the pension investment commission and index the funds. This is no joke just call any broker and ask them.
retirees unite and take back OUR money.
