	South Carolina Legislature
		South Carolina only began using the executive budget concept in the 1990s, however, resorting to a hybrid system for much of the twentieth century that relied upon a body known as the Budget and Control Board to oversee the preparation of the budget and its execution.
		South Carolina was no exception to this and, along with many other states, has expanded the mechanisms at its disposal in order to monitor agency behavior and the expenditure of public monies.
		The South Carolina General Assembly we observe today at the turn of the century is an institution that has evolved from colonial roots in fits and spurts with a number of external forces and events playing key roles in its development, along with its own changing membership and the political culture of a unique state.

	Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council
		South Carolina's expressed interest in intensively managing development activities in the so-called "coastal zone" dates from 1977 when, in the aftermath of Congress's passage of the federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, the legislature enacted a Coastal Zone Management Act of its own.
		We emphasize that to win its case South Carolina must do more than proffer the legislature's declaration that the uses Lucas desires are inconsistent with the public interest, or the conclusory assertion that they violate a common-law maxim such as sic utere tuo ut alienum non laedas.
		The South Carolina Supreme Court's decision to defer to legislative judgments in the absence of a challenge from petitioner comports with one of this Court's oldest maxims: "The existence of facts supporting the legislative judgment is to be presumed."

	South Carolina Governor Signs Bill Outlawing Hog Dog Fighting and Strengthening Penalties for Cockfighting
		South Carolina becomes the fourth state to outlaw hog dog fighting in the last two years.
		Hog dog fighting in South Carolina was exposed in December of 2004 when the leader of a national hog dog fighting organization, Art Parker, and several others were arrested in Chester, South Carolina for organizing and participating in hog dog fighting.
		But until the South Carolina legislature makes cockfighting a felony, as it is in neighboring North Carolina and Georgia, cockfighters will continue to flout the law and treat the modest penalties for illegal cockfighting to be a cost of doing business," said Pacelle.

	William Gilmore Simms, 1806-1870 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		At the beginning and near the end of his career, he edited several South Carolina newspapers, and in the 1840s and 1850s he served as editor of important southern journals, among them the Magnolia, the Southern and Western, and the proslavery Southern Quarterly Review, which gave voice to sectional issues.
		Active in politics, he served in the South Carolina Legislature from 1844 to 1846, conferred with prominent planters like James Henry Hammond about southern agricultural policies, conducted a copious correspondence with fire-eating Beverley Tucker of Virginia about slavery and secession, and helped develop the proslavery argument.

		The mess made by the pigs, however, was nothing when compared to the chaos caused by the legislature's overrides of the governor's vetoes.
		After the House kicked the budget back to Sanford, he vetoed another $16.2 million in appropriations, saying the surplus funds should be used to pay off the remaining portion of the state's unconstitutional $155 million deficit carried over from fiscal 2002.
