In literally the last hour of this year's session, the legislature passed a property tax relief bill. But don’t expect the discussions to die. The plan, which will cut out school operating costs from your homeowner tax bill by raising the sales tax one percent, is now headed for a voter referendum in November—if the governor signs off first. “So this is not a done deal,” said Rep. Wallace Scarborough (R-Dist. 115).  “No, absolutely not a done deal. The voter's still have to vote on it.” Another bill the legislature still has to vote on is imminent domain reform, which would outlaw the government's ability to seize private property for reasons of economic improvement. It may come to a vote on the June 14th, when the legislature reconvenes to tackle Governor Mark Sanford (website - news) 's budget vetoes-as many as 400 of them.  “The budget's still very much up in the air,” said Scarborough.  “We don’t know what the vetoes are going to be. We don’t know how many we'll override.” Some lawmakers think Governor Sanford could veto up to $500 million from the $6.5 billion budget. One major bill that died completely was workers compensation .Scarborough said that bill may have to start from scratch again next year. » Find More Articles Related To This One Copyright 2006 WCIV, LLC.
