South Carolina General Assembly

Journal of the Senate

Thursday, June 27, 2013
(Statewide Session)

Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The Senate assembled at 11:00 A.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned, and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.

A quorum being present, the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:

In the 9th Psalm we read:

"I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds."     (Psalm 9:1)

Let us bow in prayer:

Holy God, we really do find ourselves almost literally singing songs of thanksgiving and praise today. After all, You have blessed South Carolina so richly by means of the actions of these Senators throughout this term. We surely celebrate all the good that they have accomplished, and we anticipate even further blessings for the people of our State. Continue to guide these dedicated servants as You alone can do, O Lord. Also, be with the women and men in our Armed Forces who serve and honor You around the globe: in Iraq, in Afghanistan, at our installations here in South Carolina, wherever they might serve. Moreover, we ask that You hold Senator NICHOLSON and his family in Your loving care in the recent death of the Senator's sister, Sophia Nicholson. All this we pray in Your wondrous name, dear Lord.
Amen.

The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.

Senator SHANE MARTIN spoke on the veto.

Remarks by Senator SHANE MARTIN

Lady and gentlemen of the Senate.

I watched the Senator from Richland talk about a veto that got sustained by the House and I am going to have to do the same thing. I was kind of hoping for a veto on Item No. 25 that dealt with House Bill 3360. I was looking for a veto there. I was really prepared for that to be vetoed, but it was not. I asked some questions on the Senate floor about this bonding and placing more debt on our children and our grandchildren and I thought about it over the weekend and the week that we were off and, you know, those people cannot vote yet. Maybe that is why all that debt passed so easily. But, I asked the question, "What are the terms?" Nobody could tell me the interest rate.

The Senator from Orangeburg, Senator MALLOY, talked about Experian and finding out that his wife had a credit card and that really got me thinking -- my wife and I had refinanced our house through Experian. Everybody has talked about that you borrow money to buy a house, don't you? So, I got to thinking we did borrow money for our house. But, guess what? It is our money. We are borrowing the money and we are going to pay it back It is our choice.

Here in Columbia when money gets borrowed or bonded, the taxpayer pays it back and the taxpayer has no choice except for those down here who are willing to say, "no" to the debt on our children and grandchildren. And that is what I did. So, I sent out some e-mails and I am going to get to it because I just got an answer. But, I had already prepared what I was going to say and I will get to my answer later.

Well, my wife and I got what is called a "term sheet." That "term sheet" told us how much we borrowed, how much the cost of that borrowing was going to be, what the fees were and what the originating costs were going to be. We received all of that and guess what? They made each of us sign that we knew what the interest rate was, that we knew how long the term was and that we also knew the actual amount of how much we were borrowing and the total amount of what we were going to pay back. In addition to that, we also knew what would happen if we paid off the loan early, if there would be any penalties or if there would not be any penalties.

We knew all of that so I was hoping when I found out that that H. 3360 was signed into law that maybe there was somebody that could send me over a "term sheet." Because I know that before a Bill can be signed into law, that there would have to be a "term sheet" on that. But, there was not. There was no "term sheet" so I had to do a little math. This confused me as to how and why this body would pass something and not know the terms. How it could get signed into law and the terms still not be known. But, it did, so I just got to looking -- $500 million in bonded debt on, say, a ten-year term at 5% is going to be about $250 million over the life of the loan.

I assumed at the time that it was ten-year bonds. I don't know. Does anybody know? I still hear the same crickets chirping that I did when I asked these questions while we were on the Senate floor. I am not going to yield right now, Mr. PRESIDENT, for just a minute -- I want to finish and I will be glad to take questions later. So, if it rises or it doesn't rise -- let's just say it does rise. Every 1% is going to equal about $50 million over the life of the loan. So, let's just say it could be $250 million, 300 million maybe more. but guess what that is going to be? That is money not going to fix our roads. That is money not going to fund DFA. That is money that is not going to our local government. That is money that is going to go probably to Beijing or to Wall Street. That is where that money is going to end up going.

I have been told by folks here that before my time -- I have only been here one term -- I was told before my time that they offered to put a $100 million a year into SCDOT and I heard if that had passed six or seven years ago that we would not be in the shape that we are in right now. I was not here. That is what I have been told. Some here may know more but without seeing a "term sheet" it is very, very frustrating that something like this could pass.

Now, I want to go over here about what could be done with bonded money and here is the list of things that we were told -- finance bridge replacement, rehabilitation projects and expansion and improvements to existing main line interstates. Now, if you remember I briefly asked some questions but I was not trying to prolong the budget process with the chairman. We basically established that we don't know what rehabilitation means and we really don't know what improvements mean but we do know that we were told that no maintenance or resurfacing would be done with this money.

Now, Interstate 73, Interstate 526, the extension there, are whole new projects. Without existing asphalt they clearly fall into the categories above. I drive to North Carolina a lot for my business and I drive up I-85 and drive through the center of the Senator from Cherokee's area. There are some places that really don't need the total reconstruction, but there is a lot of maintenance and resurfacing on that road that needs to be done. So, what I wonder is -- if no resurfacing or maintenance is going to be done on this road, what is going to happen Senator from Cherokee? Is all the money going to I-73 and I-526 and I-85 will get bypassed? I think we have had the second or third kick of the mule before on other things and I am afraid we are going to get it again. I just wanted to point that out.

I found out today from the Senate Finance Staff and I really appreciate them reviewing this that the Treasurer's office estimates that they are going to be 5% on the terms for fifteen years. So, in just simple terms that is $375 million over those fifteen years that is going to interest. So, we have got $500 million, less attorney fees -- let's just say $400 to $495 million going to fix our roads and $375 million going to the interest. That concerns me.

I have a twelve year old daughter and a seven year old son and I believe that they are going to be the ones holding the bill for that. And, that is what scares me. I want to fix our roads and I applaud everybody in here that want to fix our roads. We need to and we made some efforts this year that would have put real money into the roads automatically.

I had to find a point to talk because there was not a veto to talk about that specific area. Senator from Anderson, if you have a question I will yield now. I just wanted to finish my remarks.

Thank you.
