The one that I find most interesting is bill #3560 which would
allow counties to impose fees on VGM's. Guess which bill
attracted the largest number of sponsors? You got it! Bill #3560.
All the political hoorah we have been hearing for the past few
weeks is about how big a piece of the VGM revenue pie the State
of South Carolina gets.
