Reps. John King, R-York and Rep. Wendell Gilliard, D-Charleston, gave Buzz a chuckle with their bill to end Gov. Nikki Haley’s requirement that state workers answer their phones by saying, “It’s a great day in South Carolina!”
King and Gilliard’s bill would lift the requirement that state workers use the greeting “so long as certain conditions exist in South Carolina.” The bill also would ban any future requirement that state workers use the greeting or a similar one “connoting the advantages of or a general pleasant demeanor in this state so long as any of the following conditions apply:
• The state’s unemployment rate is 5 percent or higher.
• All South Carolinians do not have health insurance.
• Funding for public schools, colleges and universities is not sufficient for 21st-century standards.
• The state’s rural infrastructure is inadequate.”
