January 11, 2017
Mr. speaker, Mr. president, ladies and gentlemen of the General Assembly, constitutional officers, and my fellow South Carolinians: Tonight marks the seventh time I have stood behind this podium to discuss the state of our state. The first five of those evenings began with the recognition of at least one member of the United States Armed Forces who had perished in the year prior. By the grace of God, for the second year in a row, I will not read a single name of a lost soldier, sailor, airman, or […]

Now it's time to lock in our accomplishments and build on our record.

State of the State - Jan. 9, 2001
January 9, 2001
If all politics is local, then all policy is personal. Whether you are cutting a tax or expanding prescription assistance, whether you are preserving a farm or raising academic standards, in doing so you affect the life of a community, a neighborhood, a family, a person. When a tax cut saves a family money that it can put toward mortgage payments, that's personal. When a senior citizen can qualify for PAAD and get the medicine to keep her blood pressure under control, that's personal. When a business incentive leads a […]

Once again, New Jersey has a war memorial as majestic and proud as the heroism it honors. I want to thank all those who played a part in restoring this remarkable structure. Since I have been Governor, I'm often asked, "What do you want to be known for? What do you want your legacy to be?" It's a tough question. This state […]
