” “Waterways Protection Fund,” which would be administered by the S.C. treasurer and kept “separate and distinct” from the state’s general fund.” I give it two years before we learn the fund has been raided for some stupid use.

Yep! South Carolina needs its own DOGE.

I hate seeing the money grubbers in the Senate figuring out yet another way to seperate citizens from their money. That said, part of me is kind of glad to see someone sticking it to “the boat people” who manage to clog up the roadways with boats and their trailers throught warm weather. They rarely can do even the speed limit and take forever to make a turn while hauling their precious treasures around for all to admire. Oh, they make the drive-thru lines at fast food places so much more fun, too.

States that have over a billion and a half dollars in surplus funds should not be adding any new taxes or fees of any kind. Full stop.
