McMaster’s Silence is Holding Back South Carolina
Columbia, SC – In case you missed it: today’s reporting about a forum last week where State House Republicans praised a solar bill James Smith was a lead sponsor on. This bill, which gained wide bipartisan support, would give South Carolinians more freedom to choose solar power over the utility companies that have been failing them. With a push from the Governor’s office, this bill could have passed—but Henry McMaster was dead silent on the issue.
Reminder that Henry McMaster has gotten $115,000 from SCANA – maybe that’s why the Governor would rather offer empty proclamations than work to rein in SCANA’s greed.
“South Carolinians deserve better than a do-nothing governor like Henry McMaster,” said SCDP Chair Trav Robertson. “James and Mandy will continue fighting to bring solar power to South Carolina, create thousands of jobs, and put an end to the greed of big utilities like SCANA.”
