Profiles in Pro-Taxpayer Courage
April 27th, 2012 by Senator Tom Davis
Each year individuals and political advocacy groups in South Carolina publish legislative scorecards identifying state lawmakers who are “taxpayer heroes,” but the reality is that, with only a few exceptions, those earned grades are not really the consequence of lawmakers exhibiting any particular political courage. Occasionally, however, they do put themselves at great personal risk (in a conventional political sense) by standing up against the status quo in order to earn a true victory for the taxpayer. And such was the case last week with SC Sen. Kevin Bryant and SC Sen. Shane Martin.
Sen. Tom Davis discusses on Pub Politics why he endorsed Ron Paul
April 10th, 2012 by Tom Davis
I filled-in the other day for Rep. Bakari Sellers on Pub Politics, a popular weekly webcast in Columbia,South Carolina, and was asked why I endorsed Ron Paul for president a few days before the SC primary. As I explain in this clip, it was a very easy decision for me to make. Dr. Paul is the only candidate who truly stands for individual liberty and economic freedom.

Update on State Revenues
March 28th, 2012 by Senator Tom Davis
A few days ago, my colleagues in the South Carolina House passed their version of the State’s Budget for FY 2012-2013. Revenue projections for this year are ONE BILLION DOLLARS MORE than last year, and the House budget manages to spend just about all of this “new” money. Enough is enough. There’s no reason to grow state spending, period. We must adopt a hard spending cap so that every dollar above what the legislature spent last year is returned to the taxpayers.
If you are interested in learning more out about our state’s budget, please visit the South Carolina Statehouse’s website.
