SOUTH CAROLINA’S ONLY COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF EVERY YEAR’S LEGISLATIVE SESSION

Our guide to the 2015 legislative session – The Best and Worst of the General Assembly – has just been published. It’s the only publication of its kind in the state. We examine every major bill, explain what it would do in plain English, and assess it according to one simple criterion: whether or not it would advance your personal and economic freedom.

We think this year’s guide is the best so far. The bill summaries are crisp and efficient, the layout is clear and logical, and the graphic design is terrific. 

If you’re a member of the Policy Council, we’ve mailed you a copy already. (If you’re not, become a member here.) The online version, though, has at least one advantage over the hard copy: hyperlinks. There are links to the text of bills, relevant articles, and – most popular of all – vote tallies. Readers can see who sponsored it and, when there was a floor vote, who voted for and against it.

We hope you find this year’s guide helpful.
