South Carolina is Not For Sale
SCPC President Ashley Landess was joined by Dana Beach from the S.C. Coastal Conservation League, Matt Moore from the S.C. Club for Growth and Don Weaver from the S.C. Association of Taxpayers for a press conference on Tuesday at the Statehouse. This diverse coalition agreed that asking taxpaying businesses to subsidize their competition is bad for South Carolina. "South Carolina is not for sale," said Landess.
