SCDP Condemns GOP Mismanagement of Taxpayer Funds

February 21, 2024

South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain calls for new leadership after the GOP Majority continues to mismanage taxpayer funding.

“For decades, the Republican majority at the Statehouse have claimed to protect taxpayers and promote fiscal responsibility. Yet the  so-called “leadership” of Curtis Loftis and Legislative Republicans have failed to provide oversight. This $1.8 billion in unallocated funds is money that should be funding important programs, providing long overdue raises, or putting money back into the pockets of South Carolinians. It’s time for qualified leadership that prioritizes hard working taxpayers.”
