Taxpayer Protection

Taped to my Statehouse Office door is my Taxpayer Protection Pledge. It’s the first thing visitors see because I want them to know where I stand on fiscal responsibility. I know that we are working with your hard-earned money and I’m going to do everything possible to protect you and your family.

I’m proud to have supported last year’s property tax reduction and this year’s income tax reduction and grocery sales tax elimination. This past session we cut your taxes by over $220 million – the largest tax decrease in state history. That decrease included the elimination of the 3% state grocery tax on November 1st and the removal of the bottom income-tax bracket. The income tax reduction saved South Carolina families over $86 million.

I’m proud of my Taxpayer Protection Pledge and as long as I’m your State Representative, you can count on someone to protect your hard-earned dollars.
