Speaker Bobby Harrell on passing 2011 SUTA tax relief:
“One of the most important things that House Members did today was to direct $146 million in surplus revenue to paying back money our state had to borrow to fund the unemployment insurance trust.  This responsible budgeting by the House will prevent South Carolina businesses – both small and large – from solely shouldering this debt repayment through increased taxes.  Making this debt payment a priority also removes the threat of hefty federal fines that would only increase the total amount South Carolina taxpayers owe.”
