2010 Arts Advocacy Handbook
2010 ARTS ADVOCACY HANDBOOK Celebrating 30 Years of Service to the Arts January 2010 Dear Arts Leader: As we celebrate our 30th year of service to the arts, we know that “Art Works in South Carolina” – in our classrooms and in our communities. We also know that effective advocacy must take place every day! And there has never been a more important time to advocate for the arts than NOW. With drastic funding reductions to the South Carolina Arts Commission and arts education programs within the S. C. Department of Education, state arts funding has never been more in jeopardy. On February 2nd, the South Carolina Arts Alliance will host Arts Advocacy Day – a special opportunity to celebrate the arts – to gather with colleagues and legislators – and to express support for state funding of the arts and arts education! Meet us at the Statehouse, 1st floor lobby (enter at the Sumter Street side) by 11:30 AM, to pick up one of our ART WORKS IN SOUTH CAROLINA “hard-hats” and advocacy buttons to wear. If you already have a hat or button, please bring them! We’ll greet Legislators as they arrive on the 1st floor and 2nd floors. From the chamber galleries, you can view the arts being recognized on the House and Senate floors. You may want to “call out” your legislator to let him or her know you are at the Statehouse and plan to attend the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon. Then join arts leaders and legislators at the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon honoring the Legislative Arts Caucus.

These efforts have made life-changing impacts in the lives of our constituents. Moreover, we are proud to have passed the Workforce and Senior Affordable Housing Act (H.B. 3998), which creates a state LIHTC equal to the amount of the federal LIHTC received by a taxpayer. This Act will greatly advance our efforts on housing affordability and help to deliver additional affordable and workforce homes in South Carolina. The Qualified Allocation Program (QAP) defines how the LIHTC shall operate and the 2021 Draft QAP includes a number of significant changes for which we believe will further enhance the program.

South Carolina's 2016 Transportation Funding Bond Measure
South Carolina’s 2016 Transportation Funding Bond Measure Title of Bill: South Carolina S.1258 Result: Signed into law by Governor Nikki Haley (R) on June 8, 2016 Purpose: South Carolina lawmakers created short-term transportation funding legislation that utilizes over $200 million in existing fees to borrow approximately $2.2 billion to fund major interstate and bridge projects over the next decade. This bill also gives the Governor much more influence in the selection of members to the Commission of the Department of Transportation, which provides regulatory oversight to the use of transportation revenues included in this legislation. History South Carolina Transportation Revenue South Carolina’s transportation budget for the Fiscal Year 2015-16 totaled approximately $1.62 billion. These revenues came from a variety of streams at the state, local, and federal leveli: Federal Reimbursement under the FAST Act and fund matching generated $902 million, or about 56 percent of total transportation revenue. South Carolina’s motor fuel excise tax (which is 16 cents per gallon for both gasoline and dieselii) generated $456 million, or about 28 percent of total transportation revenue. o $351 million of this tax was generated from gasoline revenue, and $105 million was generated from diesel revenue, indicating 22 percent and 6 percent revenue contributions respectively. Non-Federal Aid, which is comprised of various taxes and fees including sales taxes, license fees, electric fees, and inspection taxes generated $106 million, or about six percent of total transportation revenue. General Fund transfers generated $79 million in revenue, or about five percent of total transportation revenue.

LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD 121st General Assembly 2015–2016 Published Fall 2016 SSOUTHOUTH CCAROLINAAROLINA LLEGISLATUREEGISLATURE PALMETTO FAMILY ALLIANCE PO BOX 11515 COLUMBIA, SC 29211 | 803.733.5600 WWW.PALMETTOALLIANCE.ORG I NNTRODUCTIONT R O D U C T I O N Welcome to Palmetto Family Alliance’s sixth Legislative Scorecard. In this publication we have selected several key votes from the 121st General Assembly (January 2015–June 2016), and used those roll calls to score each legislator on family-related issues. By reading the descriptions of the issues and looking at your legislator’s votes, you can determine if your legislator has been a leader for the family, or if he or she has made the work of defending family values more diffi cult. Palmetto Family Alliance is a 501c(4) non-profi t organization. We are the legislative action arm of Palmetto Family. We exist to promote, protect, and preserve family values, and to make South Carolina a great place to live and raise a family. As part of that mission, we monitor and educate the state legislature on issues relevant to family values. These issues range from state policy on education and taxes, to social issues like life and marriage. As you will see on the pages that follow, the 121st session was very successful for us. Several of the bills we liked were passed and every bill we rated detrimental to the family was defeated. If you would like more information on pro-family legislative action, please visit our Action Center at www.PalmettoAlliance.org or e-mail us at [email protected] and ask to be added to our e-mail list.
