(Statewide Session)

Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The Senate assembled at 1:00 P.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:

In Proverbs, Chapter 8, it is presumably wisdom who is speaking, and she declares:

"I love those who seek me, and those who seek me diligently find me."     (Proverbs 8:17)

Join me as we unite our hearts in prayer:

Holy God, we know that the greatest wisdom always comes to those who choose to follow, serve, and honor you. Be with each Senator in this body as he exercises his wisdom today. May these leaders honor you through their debates and votes, and may the results of their decisions truly benefit the people of South Carolina. Indeed, O God, bless all of Your servants who labor throughout this State, as well as our troops around the globe and stateside. Help every one of us to serve wisely and faithfully. In Your loving name we pray, dear Lord.
Amen.

The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.

Expression of Personal Interest

Senator MALLOY rose for an Expression of Personal Interest.

Remarks by Senator MALLOY

Gentlemen of the Senate, I rise before you today on a sad note. We're saddened to learn about the death of former Chief Justice Lee Chandler of Darlington this morning. Chief Justice Chandler was 89 years of age. He leaves his wife, Martha, who is in failing health herself. The family is obviously very saddened.

Many of you had a chance to know Chief Justice Chandler and his notable service to the State. He was a Circuit Court Judge and served on the Supreme Court for a number of years and was finally elected Chief Justice. We want to pause for a moment to remember him and to thank him for his service over the years for this great State of South Carolina and for the legacy that he leaves behind with his family and his children.

So many times we look around and fail to notice that we have giants among us. We have to end up acknowledging them, because if it were not for them, then we would not be in the same situation that we're in now. Chief Justice Toal is here to inform the Senate and House of his passing. It is a small fraternity of brethren and sisters that get a chance to serve in this most noble responsibility in this State.

So, I would ask us to pause for a moment of silence upon the occasion of his death.

Also, at the next available date I would ask unanimous consent for the Senate to be able to adjourn in memory of the late Chief Justice Lee Chandler.

On motion of Senator COURSON, with unanimous consent, the remarks of Senator MALLOY were ordered printed in the Journal.

Having failed to receive the necessary two-thirds vote, the veto of the Governor was sustained, and a message was sent to the House accordingly.

Statement by Senators DAVIS and ROSE

We voted to sustain the Governor's veto of the two Jasper port provisos because they constitute an illegal attempt by the South Carolina General Assembly to amend a bi-state contract between the South Carolina State Ports Authority and the Georgia Ports Authority that sets forth an agreed critical path for the development of an ocean marine terminal on the Savannah River in Jasper County. This bi-state contract has previously been incorporated into permanent law by the South Carolina General Assembly (See, S.C. Code Section 54-3-115).
  Among other things, the bi-state contract sets forth a specific governance structure for the joint venture between the two state ports authorities: a six-member governing board (the Joint Project Office, or JPO) comprised of two individuals appointed by the SCSPA, two by the GPA and one each by the governors of South Carolina and Georgia. Further, it states that expenditures by the JPO are to be authorized by a majority vote of its board. The Jasper port provisos seek to amend this method of governance by conditioning the SCSPA's payment of its financial obligations on two of the three South Carolina members of the board voting in the affirmative.
  We are unaware of any other instance where the General Assembly, unilaterally and through legislation, has sought to amend the terms of a contract voluntarily entered into between two parties. The bi-state contract - again, which the General Assembly has previously made part of permanent law - expressly provides that any amendment must be in writing signed by the parties to that agreement. Accordingly, if the provisos were enacted into law, such would arguably constitute a material breach of the bi-state contract that gives rise to punitive default remedies, one of which is a right of repurchase of the Jasper port site by the Georgia Department of Transportation.
  Proponents of the provisos contend that such are necessary to "protect" the Port of Charleston from competition by the Port of Savannah - specifically, that the GPA's attempt to deepen the Savannah River from the mouth of the river to its Garden City terminal will somehow be facilitated unless the JPO's governance structure is amended to effectively provide the SCSPA with control over the entity. This is patently untrue. The JPO is already prohibited by existing state law from speaking on South Carolina's behalf in regard to matters pertaining to that proposed river-deepening. Authority in that regard resides with the Savannah River Maritime Commission.
  We support the Port of Charleston, and we were some of the first to advocate setting aside $300 million of state general funds to cover both the State's and the federal government's shares of the harbor-deepening cost. And we were outraged when the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control green-lighted the GPA's plan to deepen the Savannah River for its Garden City terminal without properly considering the negative economic and environmental impacts to South Carolina. But to cripple the prospects of a Jasper port in a fit of anger over that DHEC dereliction is unjustified and unfair, and illegal to boot.
