We know that the competition for jobs and investment is fierce, both nationally and globally. We cannot be complacent. We must act. We must make big, bold, and transformative investments in the areas of education, infrastructure, workforce, and economic development. https://t.co/4EGzwxOppv — PolitiTweet.org

Despite this barrage of unwarranted challenges from the federal government, we will continue to grow and prosper in South Carolina. We will not let the federal government violate the Constitution and dictate decisions that rightly belong to South Carolina and her people. https://t.co/bA9p9cTswa — PolitiTweet.org

Now is the time to start safety preparations ahead of tonight's winter storm. Once ice begins to accumulate on our roads, travel may become treacherous. If you're on the roadway, drive slowly, watch for black ice and down trees. Please heed any warnings to stay off the roads. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, South Carolina’s state government is in the strongest fiscal condition ever. We have the largest budget surplus, the largest rainy day reserve account balance and the lowest debt in our history. https://t.co/JcF5H7cPpd — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

Let us continue working together. Let’s keep winning. I believe in South Carolina and I believe in America. And I believe in each and every one of you. The best is yet to come. https://t.co/CFXak3Odvx — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

So, let us seize this moment by thinking big, by being bold, confident and by making transformative investments. In this way, I believe we will set our State on a course that will provide the opportunity for prosperity, success, and happiness for generations of South Carolinians. https://t.co/KiddKJFykJ — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

And once again, I am calling on the General Assembly to eliminate all state income taxes on the retirement pay of career military veterans and South Carolina law enforcement officers, firefighters, and peace officers. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

To keep South Carolinians safe, we must maintain a robust law enforcement presence - and properly “fund the police.” My Executive Budget dedicates $31 million in new dollars to law enforcement, public safety and first response agencies for recruitment and retention pay raises. https://t.co/8WA6L9mDRb — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

I have proposed that we use $500 million in federal funds to transform these water, sewer, and stormwater systems in our state’s poorest counties. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

In rural SC, water and sewer is key to life, to good public health and economic health. And it’s key to a community’s health. The right water and sewer assets in a county can transform a tax base. That means jobs, good schools, strong families, and a safe and vibrant community. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

Once again, my Executive Budget freezes college tuition for in-state students, in exchange for an indexed appropriation based on the number of in-state students enrolled at each public institution. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

That means higher education - our colleges, universities, and technical colleges - must be accessible and affordable for the sons and daughters of South Carolina. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

Access and affordability to higher education are essential to ensuring that our state has the trained and skilled workforce to compete for jobs and investment in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

Last year, we partnered with the South Carolina Technical College System to create these scholarships and we dedicated $29 million in federal relief funds to start the program. In that short period, over 5,000 South Carolinians have been retrained and employed. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

To help fill open jobs, I am requesting that the General Assembly invest $124 million to expand Workforce Scholarships for the Future, a program that allows residents to earn an industry credential or an associate degree in high-demand careers. https://t.co/K6n015fKnn — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

South Carolina, just like every state in the nation, is facing a historic labor crisis. It has affected every sector of our economy. With one hundred thousand open jobs, there is a paycheck waiting for anyone willing to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

Parents have every right to express their concerns to a teacher, to a principal, or to members of the school board. In fact, it is their duty. https://t.co/DZvv5MADTV — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

You may have been as surprised as I was when the Attorney General of the United States, Merrick Garland, instructed the FBI to begin investigating parents who attend school board meetings. In the annals of dangerous ideas, that one takes the cake. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

Although some may say otherwise, we know that parents know what’s best for their children. We need more parental involvement in the classroom - not less. https://t.co/SPWQJFRPLG — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

My Executive Budget provides an additional $60.2 million to meet the growing demand of parents seeking new educational opportunities and in-person classroom instruction for their children. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

Charter schools in our state have seen explosive growth, in both enrollment and demand. The South Carolina Public Charter School District and the Charter Institute at Erskine are expected to authorize a total of 67 charter schools for the school year starting in August. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster

My Executive Budget raises the minimum salary for a starting teacher from $36,000 to $38,000. We have made progress in raising teacher pay. Just five years ago, the minimum salary for a brand-new teacher was $30,113. https://t.co/fc6CZnPAxB — PolitiTweet.org
