IN BRIEF McMaster proposes millions of new spending

STATEHOUSE REPORT STAFF REPORTS

S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster this week proposed millions of dollars of spending in his State of the State address to deal with lagging and critical South Carolina issues. The General Assembly came into session this week with a $1.2 billion surplus from the past two years, largely because it didn’t approve a FY 2020 budget because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That allowed reserves to grow so the state is strong financially now, compared to neighboring states. “That’s because we were thinking ahead,” the governor told a joint session of the legislature. “Now we must continue to think ahead.” In his Wednesday address, McMas- ter outlined several recommendations to state lawmakers: Rainy day. $500 million added to a $616 million reserve fund to “be pre- Lawmakers still stuck pared for any future economic uncer- tainties, should they arise.” Small business. $123 million in state funds for small business grants due to the economic climate.
