Responding to charges of blackmail by the federal government, Rep. Sheheen voiced his concern with the policies of President Reagan. "When the president took office in 1981, he vowed to give power back to the states," he said. "The states and the federal government are supposed to be both complementary and supplementary to one another, but Reagan has been cutting federal programs and is threatening to cut more if we don't comply." Legislators also agreed that a modification of the state's blue laws was neccessary, which would allow limited retail sales on Sundays. Schwartz said a provision for conscientious objectors for religious reasons should also be included in the proposed bill. Recent abolition of blue laws in Georgia has forced South Carolina to finally consider its repeal, he said.
