The weekly update from SC Senate Republicans

Wesley Donehue sends out these reports on behalf of the SC Senate Republicans every week:

It was an eventful week in the Senate. Here are some things you may have missed:
A bill that will enforce tougher DUI laws was passed this week. The bill will require drivers convicted of a first-offense DUI with a blood alcohol level of .12 or above to install ignition interlocks on their cars.
The budget subcommittees started work this week, hearing from agencies, as we begin crafting a budget.
The Finance Committee discussed a bill, S.163, that will increase the incentives for motion pictures made in South Carolina. They also discussed a bill, S.237, that will require the lowering of flags atop the State Capitol Building when a military serviceman is killed in the line of duty. The bill will ensure that the state honors our servicemen and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in a dignified manner.

If y’all would like me to, I could start passing them on to y’all regularly. Sure, it’s from a partisan point of view, but it does provide a way of keeping up with some of what’s going on over there. And the links to the bills are handy…

    “Sure, it’s from a partisan point of view”

    So if you start posting them here, it’d kind of even things out… is that what you’re saying?

    So they actually have to go through a legislative process to do something as simple as lowering a flag? Someone has to actually come up with the proper legal language to determine when to do that? Yep, that’s our government at “work”,

    How about after both chambers pass legislation to remove the third flag from the state house? Or even just to lower it – 24/7/365?

    How about it, Wesley? It really can’t be too much of a stretch for the SC Senate Republicans to push for that. In 2013.
