    Every SC taxpayer gets at least $100 rebate in Senate bill
    Everybody who files an income tax return in South Carolina would get a rebate check of at least $100 in a bill being considered by the state Senate. That includes the more than 1 million people who pay no state income tax. The rebates make up about half of a $2 billion package. A subcommittee sent the bill to the full Senate Finance Committee on Thursday. The measure also would cut the top income tax rate from 7% to 5.7%. The Senate proposal doubles the money put into tax cuts by the House, which unanimously passed its own tax package without a rebate last week.

    Top South Carolina Democrat Wants $1M Vaccine Lottery Prize
    One of South Carolina's top Democratic lawmakers wants the state to use some of its COVID-19 relief money to offer $1 million prizes to people who get vaccinated for the disease. House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford says the prizes would be similar to a program in Ohio. The Columbia Democrat says that type of program might get South Carolina out of the bottom 10 in vaccination rates. Just 36% of residents are fully vaccinated. South Carolina senators considered more modest incentives during last month's budget debate, including a $250 scholarship to college students who get vaccinate or $100 for the first 500,000 people to get the COVID-19 shot. They failed with minimal Republican support.
