Senator Tom Davis on The South Carolina General Assembly legislative session
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012Dear Friend,
It’s a new year, and the South Carolina General Assembly begins a new legislative session next week. I think the legislature should keep things simple in 2012 and focus on three areas:
-Cap spending. State spending grew by 20% last year and revenues are projected to grow an additional 20% in 2012. Simply put, state government is too big and tries to do too much. This year, instead of using the new money to expand government programs and create new ones, we should pay down state debt and/or issue rebates to taxpayers.
Tom Davis says Tea Party should be outraged at tax giveaways to corporations
Monday, December 19th, 2011In recent weeks, politically driven “incentive” deals like the foolish federal loan guarantees to Solyndra have wakened a somnolent MSM as to how prevalent “crony capitalism” is in DC, and how it perverts the free-market economy and an efficient allocation of capital.
But as I pointed out at a taxpayer rally in Columbia last April, this problem is neither new nor limited to DC. Yes, government spends too much and does too many things. But taxes should be cut for everyone, across-the-board, not just for those few who have the right political connections.
Please take a look at this short video, and me know what you think. Thanks for your attention, and have a wonderful Christmas.
Statement by SC State Senator Tom Davis (R-Beaufort) on today’s decision by the Savannah River Maritime Commission
Monday, November 14th, 2011Today’s decision by the Savannah River Maritime Commission (the “Maritime Commission”) to challenge last week’s decision by the board of directors of the Department of Health and Environmental Control (the “DHEC Board”) to green-light the Georgia Ports Authority’s dredging of 38 miles of the Savannah River Harbor (commonly known as the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project, or “SHEP”) is an important step in protecting the State of South Carolina’s economic and environmental interests.
