UR8DAY, JANUARY 21, 1987
ALL SHOULD FOLLOW SUIT
■Richland county made the headlines
the past week, and it wasn’t due to
one of the frequent announcements
coming from that area of a huge fed
eral government expenditure in Co
lumbia. It happened when on the
opening day of the genera!-assembly
its 1937 county supply bill was ^in-
twcluced, a distinction shared by no
other county in thf state. Whether
this action represents a real determi
nation on the part of that county’s
repi’eseniatives to expedite their
business promptly and with- business-
_Iike metho<ls, or whether it will turn
out to be just a political gesture-re-
mains to be .seen. Introducing a bill
means little, unless it is pushed
through the channels necessary for
its enactment. A house delegation
can introduce a supply bill, or
other local measure, and if the s^
tor from that county so desir^ he
can put the bill “to sleep’’ in Ms desk
an<l there ft remains for a« indefi
nite period.
The Richland delegation, however,
has set a fine exani]^ and one that
.should he followt*d by all the counties
in the state if the/e is to be a short-
cnded se.ssion. There is no sense or
reason in any/?roup of men taking
thrw and fo^r months to formulate a
hill to pr^ide for the financial ope
rations m their county. It indicates
either a stupidity, or an unwillingness
betwjt^*n house members and senators
to Work together. The people of Lau
rens county are hoping that the dele
gation will enact its supply hill with
out delay. This is the only way to he
fair to the officials of the county who
have l>een entrusited by the people
\\ ih the management of its affairs.
