South Carolina must in:rease teacher salaries this year to nake the public school system competitive with other states, say proponents of Gov. Dick Riley's proposed ;ducation-tax plan. "I am a little surprised to hear the :omments I'm hearing that we are wiling to accept the present pay scale for :eachers," Rep. Robert McLellan ;hided his House Ways and Means subcommittee Monday. The panel is studying Riley's plan to pump $210 million into the public schools next year through a 1-cent sales tax increase. SEVERAL SUBCOMMITTEE members said Monday there were problems with Riley's goal of bringing state teacher salaries to the Southeastern averaee.
