With the New Year behind us and the legislature back in session, I wanted to pass along what I thought was an interesting article for the way it highlighted how people from all political perspectives can indeed agree on the common sense notion of restructuring our state government.

At a recent panel discussion down in the Lowcountry, Republican State Senator Tom Davis and former Democratic Governors Dick Riley and Jim Hodges echoed what our Administration has been saying for six plus years - that this 1895 Jim Crow Constitution is holding us back as a state, both in the inefficient structure it creates and the racial biases it perpetuates."
