Registration year begins July 1 each year and ends June 30 the following year. Penalty for failure to register an aircraft is $100.00 plus court costs. Registra­ tion fees are as follows: single engine aircraft $5.00; twin engine aircraft under 6,000 pounds take-off weight $10.00; aircraft over 6,000 pounds $20.00. Appropriate certificates are issued to show the aircraft has been registered. Scheduled air carriers and aircraft used exclusively by the U. S. Government are excluded from these provisions. Included on the registration application is a request that the aircraft be registered for civil disaster use. State and Regional Disaster Airlift Plan operates on procedures approved by the Air Force, Department of the Navy, Federal Aviation Administration and S. C. Disaster Preparedness Agency. The state is divided into seven districts for this purpose. AVIATION IN AGRICULTURE One of the Commission's most important functions is the super­ vision and control of Aerial Application in the State. The Com­ mission requires that Aerial Applicators be well experienced in this type flying before an Aerial Applicator permit is issued. Minimum requirements for an Aerial Applicator permit are: A current valid FAA commercial license, a minimum of 200 hours pilot time and at least 25 hours of supervised flying time in aerial application under the direction of a qualified aerial applicator. Aircraft used in this type flying must be properly certificated, and must provide adequate protection for the pilot by having both safety belts and shoulder harness installed. COMMISSION ACTIVITIES The increase in the field of general aviation shows a definite need for every community to be served by an adequate airport. The trend in industry today is toward the smaller community, however new industries rarely locate in an area that does not have an airport available. 6 During the 1974-75 fiscal year, the Aeronautics Commission has continued to emphasize the construction of airports throughout the State. Our airports give South Carolina an excellent advantage in seeking new industry. The Commission assists many local commu­ nities in maintaining their airports. This service is provided by crews located at Anderson, Columbia, Florence, Barnwell and Walterboro. The registration of aircraft based in South Carolina has increased over last year. Current figures show 1400 aircraft in South Caro~ lina. Many of the aircraft are operated by businesses and indus­ tries of the state. The Commission is constantly seeking to improve airline service to cities within South Carolina and will continue to vigorously exercise its stewardship of responsibility in this direction. The Commission has completed a survey of the state's aviation facilities. This study prepared by Talbert, Cox and Associates pin­ points the state's needs. With a number of population and indus­ trial centers throughout the State, it is quite possible that there is a need for more third level service by commercial carriers as well as a need for more facilities for general aviation, which is very important. A study of third level or commuter service is currently under way. In the development and improvement of general aviation air­ ports, the Commission participates 12.5 percent in funding, with 12.5 percent provided by the community with 75 percent of the funds provided by the Federal Aviation Administration. The Commission is very active in the field of Aviation Educa­ tion, particularly in the public schools, by making lectures, films, aerospace literature and workshops available to the teachers and pupils of South Carolina. The Commission is constantly seeking new methods to improve the excellent safety record that South Carolina enjoys. This phase of our operation is a continuing program conducted in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration and other segments of the aviation industry. AIRPORT PROGRAM Current statutes and the intent of the original legislation has given the Commission very broad powers to establish a statewide system of improved airports. 7 The intent of original legislation directed the Commission to establish an improved airport or airports within the boundaries of each County. To achieve this goal: The South Carolina Uniform Airports Act Act (Title 2. Ch. 4 SCCL) grants the Commission wide powers to ". , sepa­ rately or jointly, acquire, establish, construct, expand, own, lease, control, equip, improve, maintain, operate, regulate and police airports and landing fields for the use of aircraft, . ." Today only McCormick and Cherokee Counties are without one or more improved airport facilities and there is a continuing pro­ gram of further improvement. In recent years, the Commission has shifted its role from active ownership and operation to one of assisting local governments as owner/operators. In 1973 the Commission withdrew completely from airport ownership with the transfer of the Myrtle Beach Airport at North Myrtle Beach to the Horry County Airport Commission. State Aid to Airports The development and maintenance of the South Carolina Air­ ports System includes cooperation with other state agencies, state area and regional planning districts and commissions, county and city airport authorities, the Federal Aviation Administration, and multi-state Area Development authorities, which, in this area, in­ cludes the Appalachian and Coastal Plains Commissions. The Aeronautics Commission began its program of State Aid to Airports in 1957. The state participation policy is based on match­ ing local funds with state funds, which usually result in applica­ tions for federal aid. There have been other financing arrangements depending on the circumstances and need. The new program under the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 is different from the past policies due to provisions in the Act for meeting requirements for plan­ ning funds. This program was implemented in 1971 with one-fourth local and/or state participation and three-fourths as the federal share. Fifty-five airports have been included in the state aid program, which consists of new airport developments and improvements to existing facilities. South Carolina airports are listed in the S. C. Airport Directory and Aeronautical Chart. These are made avail­ able to pilots and interested persons on request. 8. The Commission has moved toward implementing airport con­ struction in each of the counties, with priority being given to in­ dustrial opportunity and plant location factors. There

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in South Carolina. Smoking-related medical costs amount to $1.1 billion each year, including $393 million for Medicaid. • Tobacco growing in South Carolina declined by over 50 percent from 1997 to 2008. Tobacco accounted for less than 10% of the state's cash receipts from all crops in 2007. Despite the low levels of actual tobacco growing and the small role tobacco played in the state's economy in 2008, the cultural construct of being a “tobacco growing state” continued to have a disproportionately large impact on tobacco control policy making.

Not everyone has to tell it, of course, and most people have the good sense not to. But if you’re in my line of work, and the time arrives when you start imagining a big promotion, and you let your imagination get the better of you, you are by custom expected to give a general account of your life. The thought is that somewhere in the story of your early life, your people and place, your achievements and setbacks, Ehides the key to understanding how you acquired such a notion in the first place. I didn’t try to produce an exhaustive account of my life. That would try the patience of readers more than necessary. I thought it was better to take a more impressionistic approach to the material, so to speak, just a glance back at the experiences that most influenced the course of my life for good or ill. I haven’t included an account of my congressional career. I’ve produced only what you might call my backstory, which ends with my election to Congress. From that point on, 3 most of my life is a matter of public record, and falls under the heading of “recent events,” as most of the issues I’ve been involved with in Congress remain the subject of debate today.

    2006 MIDTERM ELECTION ANALYSIS NOVEMBER 2006 Provided by: Blank Rome Government Relations LLC www.blankromegr.com Table of Contents Page Number Outlook for the 110th Congress.................................................................... 3 Summary of the House and Senate Breakdown.......................................... 12 Likely Committee Chairs and Ranking Members ........................................ 13 2006 Election Results Chart.......................................................................... 16 OUTLOOK FOR THE 110th CONGRESS Introduction The November 7 election significantly changed the congressional outlook for 2007 by returning Democrats to power in both chambers for the first time in 12 years. Senate Democrats picked up six seats and will hold a 51-49 majority in the 110th Congress. In the House, Democrats picked up 29 seats and now hold a 231-197 majority with seven races still too close to call. In the 109th Congress, Republicans controlled the Senate 55-45 and the House 232-203. The change in leadership puts a whole new set of issues on the congressional agenda and will reshape the last two years of the Bush presidency. This document provides a brief overview of how the 2007-2008 outlook on key issues has changed with the Democratic takeover of Congress. Democratic Priorities Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi laid out a broad, unified agenda in June when they launched their “Six for ‘06” campaign, which included six broad themes they highlighted as Democratic priorities. Below is how the Democrats summarized these goals in a press release: • Make Health Care More Affordable: Fix the prescription drug program by putting people ahead of drug companies and HMO’s, eliminating wasteful subsidies, negotiating lower drug prices and ensuring the program works for all seniors; invest in stem cell and other medical research.
