The South Carolina Legislative session is in full swing, with heavy agendas expected this week due to delays caused by ice and snow last month. The House and Senate are both gaveling in at noon, with a focus on legislative hearings. Lawmakers are closely watching the House Republican Caucus, as they plan to discuss caucus issues and the future of Republican Treasurer Curtis Loftis, who is under scrutiny for a $1.8 billion accounting error. In other news, EV carmaker Scout Motors is pushing for a change in state law to allow direct car sales, with Governor Henry McMaster showing support for the move. The trade war with Canada and Mexico has also raised questions for South Carolina, a state heavily reliant on manufacturing and farming. State leaders are uncertain about the impact of tariffs and are in a “wait and see” mode. As the Legislative session continues, new lawmakers in the General Assembly are being spotlighted, with State Rep. Blake Sanders of Anderson County sharing insights about the Statehouse and his distinctive mustache.
