More fun debating on the floor of the South Carolina Senate. This time the issue is on-the-record voting. Incredibly, less than 15% of the votes in the Senate were recorded; the rest were “voice votes,” which left the public wondering how their senator voted. After a battle we got the on-the-record bill passed, and now all votes on bills are recorded.

Unlike other states, South Carolina has a five-member commission that exercises a substantial portion of the state’s legislative and executive functions. The Senate passed a bill that would abolish that commission, but we still have a ways to go before achieving a true separation of powers.
