South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster vowed to press forward with efforts to further restrict abortion in the state.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster vowed Wednesday to press forward with efforts to further restrict abortion in the state.
McMaster also used the address to endorse an overhaul to the state's system of selecting judges that would give him more control over the process. South Carolina is one of two states where the Legislature selects members of the judiciary — all the way up to Supreme Court justices. McMaster called for gubernatorial appointments “with the advice and consent of the state Senate” in a method that would resemble the federal government's model.
The governor also took time in his speech to recognize guests present in the crowd, including business executives with RedWood Materials and BMW. The companies' respective announcements of new electric vehicle and battery plants both broke the previous record for the state's largest capital investment project.Still, McMaster criticized President Joe Biden's administration for “run-away federal spending” he said has threatened states with a potential recession in the coming year.
The speech featured support for education scholarship accounts. The Senate has spent the first weeks of session debating the program, which would provide public tax dollars for lower-income students to more easily pay for private schools with $6,000 vouchers. McMaster noted his budget proposal would set aside $25 million for the program.
