Republicans
considering
airing freeze
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) ? The new
lepublican majority in South Caroliia's
House considers a government
liring freeze and the merger of some
itate colleges part of the debate about
low to cut spending.
House Ways and Means Chairman
ienry Brown, R-Hanahan, said everything
is on the table in talking about
low to cut the state budget 5 percent,
i top GOP goal in the House this year.
Some two-year schools and technical
:olleges could be eliminated, Brown
laid, but he would not elaborate.
Cutting the number of state emiloyees
is also a goal, Brown and oth;r
GOP leaders said. The number of
itate employees has risen from 60,005
o 67,757 during the past eight years.
"We can't cut back spending and
ncrease the number of employees at
he same time and have any long-term
eduction," House Speaker David
Wilkins said.
Hie Legislature last year endorsed
Tiring 747 more full-time employees
ior the fiscal year that ends June 30.
Hie prison system got the bulk of those,
184 employees.
Lawmakers have had a hard time
^educing the state payroll, despite several
attempts.
Hie restructuring passed two years
ago was supposed to make state govarnment
more efficient, but Comptroller
General Earle Morris said it
added 1,750 new jobs.
An earlv retirement incentive that
was supposed to lure more employees
off the state payroll has saved $4 million
annually. But it will take years
for the incentive to pay off because it
cost $21.6 million to pay for the bonuses.
About 90 percent of the 2,447 state
employees who received the bonuses
last year have been replaced, the State
Retirement System reports. The new
employees are being paid 85 percent
of the retired employee's salary.
The retirement system said 163
positions were eliminated. "Generally,
there was no wholesale elimination
of positions," the report said.
In the decade since 1984, prisons,
health and education areas acr 85 percent
of the growth in the state's work
force.
