COLUMBIA, S.C. - Governor Henry McMaster today released the following statement in response to the South Carolina House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee's budget:
“This Ways and Means budget is a big win for South Carolina - prioritizing teachers, students in rural school districts, classroom safety, tuition payers, and workforce training. Our collaboration and communication on these items with Speaker Lucas, Chairman Smith, and committee members in recent months was unprecedented and is reflected in this budget. This cooperation bodes well for future efforts on education reform, tax reform, and ratepayer relief.”
