CHARLESTON (AP) ? Spoleto Festival U.SA officials
are trying to figure out how to recover from
a $900,000 deficit this year.
The Spoleto board's executive committee found
out Tuesday the festival is $1.8 million in debt, taking
into account deficits from previous years.
"We're here on a very serious matter," Chairman
Homer Burrous told the boards executive com
mittee.
Burrous said while fund raising and ticket salet
came close to targets for this season, expenses wen
well over budget.
Greg McLain, a certified public accountant wh<
audits the festival's books, said there were expensa
that didn't show up in the budget.

Statehouse re
blow budget t
Associated Press
Renovations of South Carolina's 140year-old
Statehouse will cost $7 million more
than expected, though Wednesday's approval
of the contract may face a court challenge.
The State House Committee, with its
majority worried about delaying the threeyear
project, voted 6-4 along party lines to
accept Caddell Construction's bid of $40.2
million for renovations that were expected
to cost $33 million.
Committee chairman Verne Smith, a
state senator from Greer, said asking for
new bids would delay the project and consume
potential savings and could also keep
lawmkers out of the Statehouse until 1999.
"I just think it is false economy for us to
delay the project and try to get by cheaper,"
Smith said. "It's time to fish or cut bait."
But it could invite legal action from Morganti
National, the Danbury, Conn.-based
contractor that submitted the lowest bid of
$43.6 million on the state's original proposal.
The renovation includes a new dome and
extensive work on the layout and mechanical
parts of the building to bring it up to
fire and building codes.
After bids were opened, state officials
declared an "emergency procurement" and
suggested 25 changes to the project. Three
of the four contractors cut their estimates
and Caddell of Montgomery, Ala., had the
lowest bid.
Moiganti refused to respond to the suggested
changes and contends it should have
been awarded the project. Its lawyer, W.
Duvall Spruill, wrote the committee that
the emergency declaration appeared to violate
state law.

The company, with two protests pending,
wanted any vote delayed until those
could be resolved, Spruill said. He refused
to comment after the meeting, except to say
"legal action is always a possibility."
S.C. lawmakers will have an extra $87
million to spend when they return in January,
but those who voted Wednesday to
delay the project said they would rather try
to save the money.
"The sly is just not the limit for the taxpayers
of South Carolina," said Sen. Glenn
MrPnrmall R.T'Vior!oafnn a (YimmittwunMTl.
ber.
Sen. Harvey Peeler, R-Gaffney, wondered
how he would explain, to constituents,
the project's bids came in above budget.
*T just need something to take home to
tell them folks why we missed it" Peeler told
architect Robert Lyles. "If I tell them the
architect missed it, they'll say, Well, surely
that architect isn't there any more.'"
Lyles said he couldn't explain exactly
why the bids came in above budget until he
could talk with the contractors. Morganti's
challenge of the bid process at this point
makes that impossible, he said.
To save as much as $5 million, Peeler
and the committee's two other Republicans
wanted to scrap a proposed foundation that
would help the Statehouse resist earthquakes.
But that would have required new
bids.
The Statehouse already has closed for
asbestos removal related to the renovations.
The governor, lieutenant governor and General
Assembly are working elsewhere during
the project and for the next two years
the Legislature will meet in a renovated hotel
across from the Statehouse.
