Just my opinion “JMO”
As the new bill’s continue to tumble in my email box, I am left wondering “why so many are being put on the table that have no real purpose except to take up the time that could be used for real issues.” I understand the need to give someone thanks and encouragement for great service to our state but is there not another way of doing it. Maybe send a nice certificate of appreciation award would be more in order. In no way am I saying not to applaud the efforts of a group or person who is making life in South Carolina better, let’s just start using the Senate and House time more wisely.
I think that these honor so-and-so bills oftentimes are a way for politicians to payback big contributors who helped them win election or something similar. I agree it is a waste of time and money that could be better spent elsewhere.
