## Resource

South Carolina’s budget crisis deepens as lawmakers miss another deadline, locked in a bitter standoff over property tax breaks and local earmarks—with the Senate demanding funds return to citizens and the House insisting on critical community investments. A $315 million House proposal clashes with the Senate’s $130 million plan, stalling progress and risking pay raises for teachers and state workers, plus potential cuts to SNAP and other vital programs. Negotiators race against time to break the deadlock before the state’s temporary spending plan runs out. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
