Rep. Tommy Pope’s Legislative Update

Just getting past the budget debate, Rep. Tommy Pope discusses what is on the docket this week. There is a great deal of legislation coming through the House, since the focus last week was mainly on the budget. Some things that he feels will be of particular interest in his district is the Lake Wylie bill that he feels will soon be across the hall in the Senate, the tax reforms he mentioned last week that are starting to come up, as well as the Pollution Control Act. He briefly discusses his concern with this act; being pro-business, he is holding the protection of citizens’ rights in the utmost importance.
