(Statewide Session)

Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The Senate assembled at 2:00 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:

The prophet Isaiah reminds us:

"How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, 'Your God reigns!' "     (Isaiah 52:7)

Good friends, let us pray:

Holy God, we thank You for Isaiah's classic description of those who are known to be loving, caring, concerned, and dedicated leaders. We thank You, Lord, for the lady and the gentlemen who faithfully serve You and the people of South Carolina here in this Body. Truly, may each Senator and every staff member continue to honor You and to labor diligently -- and responsibly -- on behalf of all of the citizens of this State we love. As always, O God, to You be the ultimate glory. In Your loving name we pray, Lord. Amen.

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

Motion Adopted

Senator GROOMS asked unanimous consent that if and when the Senate adjourns today, it reconvene to meet tomorrow at 10:00 A.M.

Election of the PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE

On motion of Senator CAMPBELL, the Senate proceeded to the election of the PRESIDENT Pro Tempore.

The PRESIDENT announced that nominations for the office of PRESIDENT Pro Tempore were in order.

Nomination

Senator RANKIN was recognized to make nominating remarks and placed the name of Senator JOHN YANCEY McGILL into nomination for the office of PRESIDENT Pro Tempore.

Remarks by Senator RANKIN

I rise for the purpose of making a nomination. It's a little bit like Groundhog Day today, just a little. In 1992, I had the occasion to run for the State Senate. I succeeded, obviously, and I got a call with the offer to host me in the junior suite of an office in the Gressette Building, and to work under a person with whom I had worked as a page. That invitation was not from Marie Waller, who I did work for as a page, but from Senator YANCEY McGILL. That was in 1992.

I learned of Senator McGILL from his father, who I had worked under as a page in the eighties. While attending FRANK McGILL's funeral, I met YANCEY McGILL, who was a city council member and maybe Mayor at the time. Before that, I had met Tommy McGill, preacher McGill, who is here with us today. I feel almost like a McGill, except I don't have the stature, perhaps in body mass, as well as in statesmanship, and in ability to walk with the Lord, as the McGills do, and proudly demonstrate on a daily basis.

In my first walk in state government, that being the State Senate, I learned under a great leader and a great teacher. I will never forget the first year -- the Green Team, from the Horry County Delegation, made up of a lot of freshmen in both the House and Senate. We were trying to succeed in secession from USC. Coastal Carolina was then, the stepchild, beautifully treated, but nonetheless, the stepchild of the USC system.

We had a Bill to break away. The key moment to that happening, to that Bill passing, and then Governor Campbell coming down to Horry County to the Coastal Carolina campus to sign it, wasn't on the House side, but it was right over there, standing right in front of the pages, where YANCEY McGILL said to have objected to a Bill. You may not remember whose it was. Senator LEVENTIS had a most important item that he was seeking passage of, and he was objecting to our Bill. Yancey whispered to me "object to the Bill." Boom! Here comes Senator LEVENTIS and Senator DRUMMOND, I think it had something to do with oil. Guess what happened? We had a Bill signing in Horry County, Coastal Carolina University, which became then, the great school it is today.

I can go down the list over the last twenty something years, and give you pages and verses of examples, not only of mine, but of yours, each on both sides of this aisle, where you have learned and benefitted from a person who has not just looked out for his area, but has looked out for all of us in the Senate. So today, we have before us here the opportunity and the pleasure of elevating a person who knows state government, who has a heart for all people: black, white, child, adult and senior -- who has a heart for doing what is right. Not only to ascend to the position of PRESIDENT Pro Tempore, but ultimately, as we know, where he will go shortly after.

This opportunity is one that I have relished -- at being able to place his name in nomination, and the honor for me personally, when I can say YANCEY McGILL was always there for not only me and my family, but for you and this Senate. The people of South Carolina will allow him to do what he has been called by the Lord to do, and that is to relinquish his seat soon hereafter, and assume the position "up there" we will call it.

I've always said Senator McGILL would look good in purple, I just didn't know when that day would come -- that he would don the color, but that day is coming soon. I want to tell you with great tidings of a man who is ready to do it. A man who in this Senate has demonstrated time and again, who has taken more grief time and again, no doubt from folks at home, for voting with the other side, and making the grade, and getting a high rating from some that are not necessarily identified with their side; but a man who has time and again not put politics first, but principle first, and who has put again, all of us in this State first. A man who has compassion for the aged.

I went to a fish fry long ago. I won't say where, but Senator McGILL knows where I am talking about, with people who were there, not just to see the politicians, but to see a person whose intentions and whose heart was for seniors -- who time and again, has taken the time, expressed the interest, and voted with his heart putting seniors first.

In Horry County, Ray Fontaine is the senior agency leader. He is a man who is on the streets working day in and day out with the seniors of South Carolina and has had a wonderful time spent under Lieutenant Governor McCONNELL. Now he will be under a person who will continue to put the aged first. Let me tell you, this is not going to be a new suit for him.

John F. Kennedy said something that I think applies mildly to Senator McGILL, "Leadership and learning are indispensible to each other." Senator McGILL has not only learned what is in the budget, how to get what is in the budget to go back his way, but also how to work with people -- republican, democrat, black, white, whatever the race or religion -- a man who you have heard at the toughest of times in this Senate use the term 'with love and compassion'. He has learned people, he has lead people, and he will lead us with a great heart, a great focus, and a great purpose. So with the family here, and his father and mother, already on the other side, no doubt looking, listening, and applauding, I place into nomination for PRESIDENT Pro Tempore of the Senate, my friend and suitemate, Senator YANCEY McGILL.

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

Senator SETZLER seconded the nomination of Senator McGILL and moved that the nominations be closed and that the Senate proceed to a vote.

Remarks by Senator SETZLER

Lady and gentlemen of the Senate, I will be brief.

Two weeks ago when Senator COURSON resigned as PRESIDENT Pro Tempore, I took this podium because, at that point, we were not going to have a Lieutenant Governor and we were not going to have a PRESIDENT Pro Tempore. I said then the South Carolina Senate will step up. We will answer the call.

Senator YANCEY McGILL, who is now our new Lieutenant Governor has done that. The South Carolina Senate as a whole, whether they had disagreements on how we got there, has not done that.

The South Carolina Senate has answered the call. We are here to work and do the people's business. As I said that day, "We will do our job." You do yours.

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

The question then was the election of Senator McGILL to the office of PRESIDENT Pro Tempore.

Whereupon, the PRESIDENT announced that Senator McGILL was elected to the office of PRESIDENT Pro Tempore.

Recorded Vote

Senators BRYANT and THURMOND desired to be recorded as present. Senators BRIGHT and CORBIN desired to be recorded as voting "No".

Privilege of the Floor

On motion of Senator BRYANT, with unanimous consent, the Privilege of the Floor was extended to the family of Senator McGILL for the administration of the Oath of Office.

Administration of the Oath of Office

Senator McGILL presented himself at the Bar and the Oath of Office was administered by Chief Justice Jean Toal.

The PRESIDENT Pro Tempore, Senator McGILL, addressed the Senate.

Remarks by Senator McGILL

Let me say this, thank you very much my friends in this Senate. We have been friends for a long, long time. We have spent a lot of days together; a lot of the work has been done in the Gressette Building, and a lot has been done all over this State. There is no way that the citizens of this State truly understand the responsibilities of a South Carolina Senator. I can tell you now that what we enjoyed is knowing that these seats we sit in belong to the citizens of this State. This position that Lt. Governor McCONNELL holds, belongs to the citizens of this State. That was the first rule that we always understood when we ran for public office. I can attest today that each one of you not only has the academia, but you have the wisdom, the love, the compassion, but you also have the knowledge of how to represent the citizens all over this state. Someone asked me one time, "Tell me about the citizens of District 32" -- and that's over in Williamsburg, Berkeley, Georgetown, Horry and Florence Counties. "What do you like best about Senate District 32?" I said, "It is the citizens. They have always been supportive and loyal." I've been elected a number of times, from city government and mayor, and now been elected to the Senate for 26 years, 35 years over all. But to you members of the Senate, I thank you for what you do and I thank the families and spouses for the sacrifice -- when they don't see you at many a basketball or football game, or a function that goes on in the community. I will just say to you, it is an awesome responsibility that each and every one of us is given, a fiduciary responsibility to make a difference in our district. You can go district by district and in every district in this State the quality of life has improved. I can tell you it is because of members like you, and county council members, school board members, mayors, city council members, all over this State. I want to thank you for it and I want everyone here today to give these members a round of applause, please.

I want to share this quickly and then I want to introduce my family. Lt. Governor McCONNELL, Chairman LEATHERMAN, 26 years ago when I came in the Chamber, and not many folks here now were here at that time, and I was assigned my father's seat, which was over here where Senator REESE and Senator NICHOLSON are. I had the opportunity to sit by Senator McCONNELL for two years. My father, two weeks before he passed, he shared with me about the individual members at that time. What he said was that it was a body of public service. He said, this McCONNELL man, sit by him if you can. If you don't get that opportunity, you get to know him, he said, because he will guide you the right way in making right decisions, ethical decisions. He knows more about the rules than anybody in the Senate. Senator McCONNELL taught me very quickly about how to get a little bit of money out of the state budget. He would always say if it is first reading, carry it over to second. If its second reading, always carry it over to third. I am telling you this because GLENN McCONNELL is not just the person we know of honesty and integrity, but a person who genuinely loves this Senate body. When he was a member and even today, he loves this Senate body. Senator McCONNELL's academia and his strength could have been about Charleston, but it was not about Charleston. It was about helping every member of this body. Every one of us was given a lot of opportunity from the Lt. Governor of this State. I just want to say today that I went down and I talked with some of the aging people and some of the folks in the Lt. Governor's Office. I am glad to report to you that both the Lt. Governor's Office and the Aging Program are rated AAA. It is fiscally sound. They have restructured aging in the Lt. Governor's office under his leadership. They have made a big difference in protecting the citizens' office. That's a big responsibility. I want you to let's give our friend GLENN McCONNELL a round of applause, please.

I will tell you this, on the end of that. It was hard for me to get money out of the State Senate. I just want to tell you that I appreciated the minor love and compassion. I will report to you today by testament, that Williamsburg County was number one in unemployment, we were sitting at around 18 or 19, 20 percent. It was because of you that that county was afforded an opportunity to go from first every cycle, to where we are probably 15 or 16 now, unemployment has dropped to 6.9 percent. That's because you afforded a rural county opportunity.

Now, I would like to introduce my family. I'd like to first say yesterday was a big celebration for me, very family oriented. Twenty-six years ago I held my hand up in this Chamber and my wife was here. Yesterday was the second time in twenty-six years she was in this Chamber. God could never have given me a finer wife, a godly gift for me. We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary on May 18th and of course, I was in meetings, as I have been for years. Maybe now there are some things I can do for my wife. I would ask you to please welcome my wife, Pam Fennell McGill. Thank you. I will share with you, this is her third day in attendance at the Senate!

Today we have with us Lisa and Mark, Abi is not here, and of course Lisa is holding Henry Bostain Sweatman. I know my daughter Maggie is here, her husband David who is an engineer at NanYa was here yesterday but he had to work today. My son John is here, holding little Yancey, and his wife Jenny is very close by. In this balcony I have family members here -- my sister Melissa, her husband was here yesterday, Walter. Ted is here; his two daughters are with him. Melissa's two daughters and son are here with her. I see Cathy Watson McElveen here; we were all Watsons. I've told Senator MASSEY on the back row over here, he doesn't realize it but he is a Watson too. Senator McELVEEN, he is a Watson. Cathy's husband is Joe McElveen, the Mayor of Sumter. I look up and see Mike Watson who is here with us. We always brag about this Watson Reunion which is in Marion County. He's President of the reunion this year, and everybody is invited to attend. Ted Riley is a Watson, Mike. Dick Riley's wife's father was president of that reunion one year. Tommy and his wife Julie and their children are here. Tommy started out right here in this Chamber with my father, in the 70's, and worked 6 years with Marion Gressette while he was in college and law school. There are other family and friends who are here. It is a historical moment. I should not have spoken but a minute. I have never really come to the podium and have never really taken up the time of the Senate. But to my family, I love you and I respect you.

The citizens of this State -- if they only knew the hard work that you members of the Senate do. They just don't know. They don't understand the hard work that you do because you don't go out and say me, me, me; it's about we. I would also say to staff members here today, Marie, my person who has helped me every step of the way, Marie Waller, and she will be going to the Lt. Governor's Office with me, should we ascend, thank you. Jean, Chief Justice Toal, my friend, I want to say thank you very much. I want to say to my friend, Senator O'DELL, Billy, thank you very much. Billy and I stayed at the hotel together for some 22, 23 years, probably ate dinner together every day. None of you knew it but Billy's wife was from Kingstree, out near Cedar Swamp, Central area. Billy, thank you very much for being a close, dear friend of mine.

I am going to share a little bit of news that no one knows about, and then I'll sit down. Senator VERDIN, he was up here one day talking about this lady, Dicey Langston up in the Spartanburg-Greenville area who was a Revolutionary War heroine. I can tell you that five times removed that lady was his grandmother, but five times removed that lady was my grandmother. Isn't that amazing? My mother was from the Greenville area.

I will tell you this Bible we used today is a 1772 McGill Bible that was brought over from Scotland and Ireland. We are strong about the Lord, strong about family, and strong about public service. I want to thank everybody in here for affording me this opportunity. Thank you so much.

On motion of Senator GROOMS, with unanimous consent, the remarks of the PRESIDENT Pro Tempore were ordered printed in the Journal.

Communication Received

The following communication was received from The Honorable Glenn F. McConnell:

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
OFFICE OF THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

GLENN F. MCCONNELL                           POST OFFICE BOX 142
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR                           COLUMBIA, SC 29202

(803) 734-2080

June 18, 2014

The Honorable Jeffrey S. Gossett
Clerk, South Carolina Senate
401 Gressette Building
Columbia, South Carolina 29201

Dear Jeff:

As President Pro Tempore of the S.C. Senate, I took an oath of office to discharge the duties of that office - one of which was to ascend to Lieutenant Governor in the event of a vacancy. So honoring my duty to that oath of office as President Pro Tempore of the Senate, I assumed the position when Lieutenant Governor Ard resigned in 2012. Although I wanted very much to remain in the Senate in my roles as President Pro Tempore and Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I had to base my decision on my own deep belief that to honor my oath to discharge the duties of the office, I had to become Lieutenant Governor.

During my tenure as Lieutenant Governor, I have dutifully carried out the responsibilities of that office and as head of the Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging. The opportunity to serve my State in this way has been an honor and a privilege. I hope that my service has helped elevate the prominence of aging issues statewide. Seniors deserve no less.

When I became aware of the opening of the position for President of the College of Charleston, I knew I either had to commit to running for election as Lieutenant Governor in November 2014 or apply to the College of Charleston. Because of my strong attachment to my alma mater as well as my belief that running for two positions simultaneously was disingenuous, I chose the College and was successfully elected its 22nd president.

I am once again confronted with a difficult decision. My official starting date at the College is July 1, 2014. I now find my duties as Lieutenant Governor severely limit my ability to represent the College's future interests, and it is important that I devote my time to ensuring a smooth transition into my new role. Although I wanted to resign at the end of the regular session, I agreed to remain until June 19, 2014, so that acts could be ratified and a constitutional impasse would not happen. All of this has been completed, and I have fulfilled that pledge. After careful consideration of my options, I have decided that the proper course of action is to resign as Lieutenant Governor, effective upon the election and installation of a new President Pro Tempore and notification to the Clerk of the Senate that he will take the oath of office of Lieutenant Governor.

For your information, and to ensure the continuation of the functions and duties of the Lieutenant Governor's office and the Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging, I have listed below several duties that will require the attention of a lieutenant governor from now until January, when a newly-elected Lieutenant Governor will take office:

(1)   presiding when the Senate is in session;

(2)   signing Bill ratifications;

(3)   acting in the absence of the Governor;

(4)   deciding issues related to pending litigation involving the Lieutenant Governor or the Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging;

(5)   approving emergency Permanent Improvement Projects (PIP);

(6)   approving employee leave, travel, or payroll forms;

(7)   preparing and submitting budgets of the Lieutenant Governor's Office and the Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging to the State Budget Office for the Governor's Executive Budget and the House Ways and Means Committee; and

(8)   approving the Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging's Accountability Report.

Please extend to the members of the Senate and your staff my deepest appreciation for the many courtesies they have extended to me as Lieutenant Governor. I will always cherish my moments in the Senate and my association with each of them. I have previously given my farewell speech to the Senate at my portrait unveiling ceremony in January. Therefore, I chose not to invade the Senate's valuable time in the last days of the session. I look forward to seeing everyone in the near future.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Sincerely,
/s/Glenn F. McConnell

Remarks by Senator LEATHERMAN

Thank you. My comments will be short today. We had lots of speeches made today. Some were pretty good and some may have been not quite so good. I'll let you sort out which one that was. I want to thank you, and it is with great honor and humility that I accept this position.

Mr. PRESIDENT. It is with great honor and humility that I accept this position today. I love this Senate just like you love this Senate. Senator PEELER, this is our thirty-fourth year, and we expect to have many, many more.

I will treat all of you with respect and certainly with fairness. To me, that is the thing that makes the South Carolina Senate what it is -- respecting each other and being fair with each other. You know, I think back to Senator DRUMMOND, the former PRESIDENT Pro Tem and former Chairman of the Finance Committee. Senator DRUMMOND is a great American, a great South Carolinian and a great Senator. He often said from this podium that we are not Democrats; we are not Republicans; we are South Carolina Senators. I want us to always remember that. Sure we have different opinions, different ideas, but at the end of the day we all are here for the betterment of the people of South Carolina. So let's keep that in mind as we do the people's work.

I intend to be working with you to return some decorum to this body, to continue to improve decorum. A time or two it looked to me like we were sort of a House of Representatives. We are not a House of Representatives. We are the South Carolina Senate.

I really look forward to serving as your PRESIDENT Pro Tem. The only thing that I would say at this point in time is Senators -- lady Senator, Senators -- let's go to work and get the job done for the people of South Carolina.

Thank you so very much.

On motion of Senator CAMPBELL, with unanimous consent, the remarks of the PRESIDENT Pro Tempore were ordered printed in the Journal.

Remarks by Senator COURSON

Mr. PRESIDENT. This has been an interesting two week period for the South Carolina Senate. Let me invite the PRESIDENT Pro Tempore of the Senate to join me. When one transfers power in South Carolina, it is not by giving a crown -- it is not a inherited position.

The only thing I can give the PRESIDENT Pro Tempore are the keys to the PRESIDENT Pro Tempore's office. Senator LEATHERMAN, you have two keys, don't lose them because you will be charged for them.

I will be brief with these remarks concerning the Senate. This session of the 120th General Assembly may go down in history as one of the best sessions we have ever had in the history of the South Carolina General Assembly. I have passed out an editorial from The State newspaper, which is not particularly adverse to criticizing the Senate, on what we have accomplished this year. It has been an incredible year and I would like to thank all of you.

I would like to call on Senator HUTTO and Senator BRIGHT to come join me at the podium. When we started session two years ago, one of my great concerns was that with three of us in this body running for, not higher office, but different political offices, it would be contentious and perhaps this podium would be abused. Senator HUTTO was in the Democratic primary a week ago for the United States Senate. He was victorious. Senator BRIGHT was in the Republican primary for the United States Senate -- well, he wasn't quite victorious. I want to thank both of you for the respect and decorum you have shown to this body in your campaigns. Neither one of you abused this podium or for self promoting partisan political purposes, and I am very, very grateful to you.

In closing, in the United States there are 1,923 State Senators. It is a tremendous honor to be a South Carolina Senator. On my side, the right side of the aisle, there are three Republicans, STROM THURMOND who served in this body from 1933-1938, JIM EDWARDS who served in this body from 1972-1974, and CARROLL CAMPBELL who served in this body from 1976 - 1978. All of them said this was one of the most enjoyable and meaningful political jobs they ever had. STROM THURMOND became PRESIDENT Pro Tempore of the United States Senate and chaired the Judiciary Committee and the Armed Services Committee. He has a statue in his honor -- one of the few on the State House grounds. CARROLL CAMPBELL, former Governor of South Carolina, wore a South Carolina Senate ring until his death. JIM EDWARDS has often told me that one of the most important political jobs he had was being a South Carolina Senator.

This is a tremendous honor, Senator LEATHERMAN, to serve in the South Carolina Senate. What has transpired here -- it is what it is. Let's move forward, and under your leadership, sir, we will do so.   Thank you.

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

MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
State of South Carolina
Office of the Governor
P.O. Box 11369
Columbia, SC 29211

June 3, 2014

The Honorable Glenn F. McConnell
President of the Senate
Statehouse, Second Floor
Columbia, South Carolina 29201

Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate,

I am vetoing and returning without my approval R205, S.293 (Word version), a Bill that raises the cap on property taxes for the Murrell's Inlet-Garden City Fire District from 10 mills to 14 mills. I have vetoed this Bill because I believe that taxpayers deserve a chance to vote on tax increases.

I have been clear that these types of local Bills - that effectively and inevitably raise taxes on citizens - should first go to the citizens to be voted into law.

Not only does this Bill deny the people a referendum on a tax increase, this Bill also gives an appointed, unelected board the authority to set the new millage rate under the increased cap. As a matter of good government, we should not allow a board that is insulated from and unaccountable to the people raise taxes on those it supposedly serves.

Let me remind you that every member of the General Assembly is expected to vote on every Bill, even local Bills. For these reasons, I respectfully ask that every member of the Senate vote to sustain my veto. Together, we can save the taxpayers of Murrell's Inlet and Garden City from a tax increase they did not choose and cannot control.

My very best,
Nikki R. Haley

VETO OVERRIDDEN

(R205, S293 (Word version)) -- Senator Cleary: AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 4-23-40, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO LEVY AND COLLECTION OF TAXES IN THE MURRELL'S INLET-GARDEN CITY FIRE DISTRICT, SO AS TO AUTHORIZE THE LEVY AND COLLECTION OF AN ADDITIONAL FOUR MILLS.
