South Carolina State Representative Eric Bedingfield filed a resolution Tuesday urging defeat of federal union card check legislation and mentioning another worker protection policy Kentuckians would do well to notice (click the image to expand it):
Rep. Bedingfield added, "In addition to being anti-worker, this federal legislation is also anti-business. In an economy that is on shaky ground, the threat of dramatically increased labor costs due to collective bargaining agreement won’t create jobs. It will have a chilling effect on in hiring and start-up businesses."
Kentucky certainly doesn't need much help scaring off business. Let's hope some of our legislators use the break in General Assembly action this month to take notice of the Palmetto State's effort.

The Herald Leader was all over South Carolina's increase of the cigarette tax.
They didn't mention what it will pay for - lowering the income tax to a flat 3.65% with no deductions.
I'll take it.
"To pay for this part of the tax cut, we would raise our lowest in the nation cigarette tax from seven cents to 37 cents."
