A look at Sanford's handling of local legislation

(Published March 18‚ 2003)

Gov. Mark Sanford has vetoed local legislation dealing with issues such as election commissions and making up school day lost to bad weather. He said the state constitution prohibits him from approving some types of bills dealing with local issues.

But he signed some of the bills and allowed others to become law without his approval. Here's a look at those measures.

Sanford signed:

- H-3282, which allows elections for the Laurens County District 55 school board to be held a week late.

- H-3259, which sets a referendum for a sales tax increase in Darlington County to cover a school bond.

Sanford allowed these bills to become law without his signature:

- S-310, which raises the bond that Oconee County's school superintendent must carry.

- S-358, which lets Clarendon School District 1's school board to issue bonds to cover state budget cuts.

- S-395, which sets the date that school board members in York District 1 take office.

- H-3389, which reverses the revocation of a charter for the Columbia Jewish Community Center.

- H-3500, which allows the Holly Springs Rural Fire District in Spartanburg to borrow more money.

- H-3652, which allows a sales tax referendum in Hampton County for capital projects.
