Policy Perspectives
Our Policy Perspectives series began to serve as an addition to our regular Legislative Update (both developed by John Ruoff). We wanted to explore important issues that face everyday South Carolinians more fully. Although some of the information in the below Policy Perspectives might be a little out of date, all of the topics covered are still very much relevant in our state today. In each one we hope that you will learn more about the topic; develop a better understanding of the root causes of the problems; and become aware of creative approaches that can be used to solve them.
