The Senate assembled at 11:00 A.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned, and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.
A quorum being present, the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:
Beloved, the Psalmist said, (Psalm 27:14):
"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage and He shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord."
Let us pray.
Our Father, we remember that the sculptor said that he did not do anything to the rock. The statue, the masterpiece, was always there. He merely cut away the pieces so that people could see the angel or the warrior or the statesman that was always there.
So, dear Lord, by the genius of Your Spirit, cut away the selfish and unworthy motives of our hearts that we may be the worthy public servant that is in Your mind that each of us shall become.
Amen!
The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.

Senator MOORE argued in favor of overriding the veto.
This is the third consecutive year that Special Olympics has been vetoed. It does sound good to talk about private industry assisting and private funding of transporting the clients to Special Olympics. But there are 22 tournaments across the State. At those 22 tournaments, 10,000 children and 6,000 adults participate, and the only way that they get to these tournaments is through transportation that is funded by this General Assembly. Unlike public schools that have buses available, which we fund, the children participating in Special Olympics do not have that available to them. It is no different in concept, and if this General Assembly does not fund the transportation of these clients to the Special Olympics games, the games are not going to happen.
Senator RYBERG argued in favor of sustaining the veto.
Senator FORD spoke on the veto.
I agree with the Senator from Aiken that we should draw some lines, but Mr. PRESIDENT and members of the Senate, you don't want to draw the lines on kids with special needs. We can draw the lines on a lot on the six billion dollar budget, but when you talk about kids with special needs, you're talking about the least. And one of the most beautiful passages in the Bible is, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
How can anybody not stand up and say that we should draw the lines on kids who need us the most? Now I don't have a major income, but the little income I have, the people that get it the most are those people who are the meek, because they should inherit the earth. And we talk about Special Olympics... I know we cannot get anyone in the Senate to vote against these children. And my good friend, Governor Mark Sanford, simply made a mistake. You don't want to go down in history as voting against the most needy. There's no religion on the planet that would support anything like that and I just hope that we vote 46 to 0 to override this veto.
Senator DRUMMOND spoke on the veto.
Senator KNOTTS spoke on the veto.
Thank you, Mr. PRESIDENT.
About three and a half years ago, Representative Mac Toole from my district, and several others started receiving complaints about our mentally disabled children and vulnerable adults that were being cared for by the Babcock Center. For the last three years, he and I both have done everything we have known to do to protect all patients of the Babcock Center. There were people that were dying, or who had been dead for eight hours, but the Babcock staff had listed that those same patients had been checked on every hour on the hour. There were patients that were being sold rings, Senator SETZLER. They were working at our convenience stations in Lexington. State employees or people involved with the Babcock Center have been convicted for taking advantage of these vulnerable adults. There were cases where a vulnerable adult was working at a convenience station unloading garbage bags from vehicles and that the adult was proud to do it. The adult had a job for minimum wage. They were being sold little trinket rings for $250 dollars that were initially purchased at the flea markets for $10-$15 dollars. We are told that they were going to take them on a vacation to Myrtle Beach and Disney World and were told that they would be given so much money each week and the vacations never occurred.
We need to take and give every possible chance we can to these people because they are very proud people. I do not know of a person that is not handicapped who would be so proud to take the trash out of your vehicle in the rain or snow to keep you from having to getting out and tell you thank you for letting them do it.
There are a lot of things in this budget that need to be cut. If you want to cut something, cut that. But do not cut the pride of these people. As the Senator from Greenwood said, I am very close to these people. I have seen them all geared up to race 40 - 50 yards and they were all so proud that they crossed the finish line regardless of what place they finished. In their minds, they were all winners. They felt like winners because they were able to finish the race themselves. These people are not looking for handouts. They are not looking for someone to take care of them because they want to beat the system. They want to be taken care of because they accomplished it themselves. This little bit of money that they are asking for is a drop in the bucket of this budget. If there has ever been a more needed funding in this budget, I do not know what it is. All you have to do is look in their eyes whenever they have accomplished the smallest goal in life. They are happy and loving people.
I took several of my cooking friends to the Special Olympics and fed all of them. It was all that I could do to keep them from helping me wash dishes or pick up trash. I did not have to ask for it to be done. They volunteered. These special people should be the pride of South Carolina. They should not be treated any differently than our children and adults that can get out and raise money.
Thank you.
Senator SETZLER spoke on the veto.
Mr. PRESIDENT, ladies and gentleman of the Senate, I am going to be brief. I think the other Senator from Aiken's intentions are good, and I don't take exception to his intentions. I think his intentions are honorable and he believes that is the right thing to do. I personally disagree with that position. Maybe the private sector can take care of it. I can tell you that I have a daughter who spends every school day with sixth, seventh and eighth grade learning disabled children. I know that some of you have children who teach in the public schools or work with these children and understand the needs that they have and the special joys and relationships they build in doing things that we very fortunately take for granted -- everyday activities that we have the ability to do that they don't. I have no qualms about voting to override on this, because I think we as a State have a constitutional obligation to education. But I think we have an obligation, likewise, to take care of those who sometimes may not be able to do all that we can do and have the compassion and understanding to understand that they need something, maybe different from the rest of us. Senator from Aiken, I think that the Senator from Horry may have made a good suggestion. Maybe if it is your belief, or not just yours, I don't want to point you out, because like I say, you and I have been working very closely together on this Retirement Bill. But if there are folks who believe that this ought to be done in the private sector, I would hope you would consider what the Senator from Horry said, and that is, support this override in this particular budget, and then send the message to the private sector next year and see if the money is raised beforehand. I, for one, will not risk losing the opportunity to help these students be able to participate in the Special Olympics this year, and I'll stand here again next year if the money is not available, to vote to override if it is necessary. I do hope that we will keep what I think is our obligation and our duty to also take care of these citizens of South Carolina.

The necessary two-thirds vote having been received, the veto of the Governor was overridden, and a message was sent to the House accordingly.
We voted against Vetoes 28-36 because we agree with the Governor that PRT should make these decisions through a grant process and not be directed by the Legislature through "pass through directories." These are all worthwhile projects and we support their funding.

This proviso would take wildlife officers and put them in an office two days per week. I believe these officers are more important in the field than in an office. In addition this sets a bad precedent of the Legislature micromanaging cabinet level agencies when they should be able to decide the best use of their funds for themselves. We have cut the Department of Natural Resources' budget forty percent and their resources are stretched too far already. DNR officers are readily available and responsive to Beaufort residents without the addition of another office location.

The necessary two-thirds vote having been received, the veto of the Governor was overridden, and a message was sent to the House accordingly.
Senator LEATHERMAN spoke on the Bill.
The Governor himself in his veto message establishes the solid ground for legitimately voting to override. He states on page 12 of his veto message, "I want to be perfectly clear. In all the sections that follow, while the vetoes listed in the message obviously impact specific projects, they are not about the merits of those projects. They are about getting to a sum that enables us to repay half of the outstanding balance on trust and reserve funds."
Exactly! The legislative process is intended to look at the merits of the issues. That's why the committee process is so vital. After subcommittees in both houses, full committee consideration in both houses, and full floor debate, the merits have been proven or at least substantially demonstrated. The Governor and his limited staff have only little time and means to examine on the merits. But the Governor does seem to decide on the merits when he has a program he likes. A good program such as the Conservation Bank, for instance, he funds in his own budget and does not veto. He used one standard for the Legislature and another for himself. The Conservation Bank money is millions that could go to repaying the trust funds. But the Governor decides on the merits that this item is meritorious enough to " override" his operating principle: Fund the trust funds first.
This inconsistency is also manifested in the vetoes of items in his own budget. Fourteen have been identified!
Some items of veto are not budgetary per-se, but are provisos. Overwhelmingly the Governor is either misinformed or is confused about the facts or impact of a proviso. An example of his confusion over the budgetary facts is Veto 48. Here the Governor vetoes $2,696,538 which the Department of Revenue needed for upgrades in computer technology to allow the department to continue its collection of delinquent tax dollars. 61 million dollars in the budget is contingent on this upgrade. The Governor supposed the previous year's allocation to be one-time expenditures to accomplish such collection but the Finance subcommittee and full committee were assured by DOR that the new technology money was crucial for this year's collection. Given the DOR Director's precision and complete forthrightness and his request as necessary for the technology upgrade, the Legislature could lose all or part of the new 61 million dollars if the veto upgrade is sustained.
Finally, the Legislature is responsibly acting to pay back the various trust funds drawn upon during the recession. 438 million dollars was used over three years and 117 million dollars was applied this year to replenish the funds. In only a few years, all the funds will be repaid.
