SC State House Votes to Take Stimulus Monies

That’s right, $350M Budget Stabilization Fund passed the house today on a 108-8 vote.

It was decided via amendment that federal stimulus money be used to fund the stabilization fund.

So, again, we have 108 House members deciding to go with the status quo and not take the perfect opportunity to reduce state government spending appropriately.

What happened to all they campaign hype of zero-based budgeting and responsible spending?

We’ll get more details on this bill when it is published to the journal, but here’s who voted against the bill.

Joey Millwood Eric Bedingfield Dan Hamilton
Garry Smith Wendy Nanney Thad Viers
Nathan Ballentine James Stewart

    We’ve actually got a guy in the state House named Jimmy Stewart. Never knew that.

    Rep. Tommy Stringer was not in Columbia due to his son being ill. Everyone, please keep his son and the Stringer family in your prayers. He did not make the vote on the stimulus money.

    All GOP house members then voted for the budget which includes the stimulus money.
    Is this a 180 degree turn?
