[edit] State government needs more transparency

"The General Assembly wants to play an active role in the South Carolina economy -- that much is clear. The state has recently allocated millions of dollars to special projects, proposed targeted tax incentives, and even sponsored local festivals and parades -- all in the name of economic development.

If elected officials insist on tampering with the American free-market model, they should at least do it openly. Five simple, non-partisan transparency reforms would ensure greater accountability."
