COLUMBIA, S.C. (WPDE) — The South Carolina Supreme Court has rejected State Treasurer Curtis Loftis's attempt to delay a Senate-led effort to remove him from office. The order issued Thursday paves the way for a potentially contentious trial at the Statehouse. The trial stems from allegations that Loftis attempted to conceal his office's involvement in a $1.8 billion accounting error that went unnoticed by state officials for years.

From Day 1 I saw this idea of general admission tickets lands you free food. It worked for the Savannah Bananas in 2016-17; look at them now.

JUST IN: SC Senate appears to have killed an effort to pass Tort Reform. The Senate adjourns after a vote to table an amendment to S. 244 failed 19-26. Sen Massey said “It’s Over”.
This may be the most lobbied for and against bill I've ever covered/followed at the State House. What was meant to be an effort to clean up liability laws to help small businesses has taken a turn.
Oh my word. Sen. Tom Fernandez just said on the Senate floor that the South Carolina trial lawyers' lobby offered him anywhere between $50,000 and $100,000 to vote against tort reform. "Let me say the quiet part out loud," he said. Senate now standing at-ease.
