Rep. MARGARET J. GAMBLE
I voted against this amendment because it would place the budget out of balance. I will only consider an amendment that replenishes the funds it expends.
Rep. J. GARY SIMRILL
When the roll call vote was taken to table Amendment #63 to H. 3362, I was out of the Chamber meeting with Mr. John B. Reeves of the Dept. of Natural Resources RE: The Federal funding of the US fish hatchery in Oconee County. If I had voted I would have voted to table the amendment for the reason that the source of funding was not provided.
Rep. BRADLEY D. CAIN
I voted to table amendment #63 to H. 3362 because I was very concerned that there was no source of funding given for the proposed amendment. I fully support higher education; however, I cannot blindly vote to give any proposal additional funding without knowing where the corresponding reduction occurs. I believe that the amendment would have eroded our ability to fully fund property tax relief. The people of South Carolina and District 2 deserve to have property tax relief in the greatest amount possible, and I fully support this tax relief.
