| Description | In his annual State of the State address Wednesday, Sanford pledged to bicycle 300 miles across the state with his family and urged state legislators to pare down the state’s income tax rate.
“I passionately believe that cutting the income tax will stimulate job growth in this state,” he said to lawmakers who filled the House chamber and to statewide radio and television audiences.
“We need jobs, and we need to improve our economy, and I don’t think we can afford to delay. This is my number one priority, and I strongly ask for your help.”
The governor’s speech was a typical Sanford affair: direct, structured in numbered sections and peppered with statistics and theory.
Sanford praised lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans, for everything from supporting changes in campaign finance laws to fighting for tax reform.
And in a nod to his often-antagonistic relationship with fellow Republicans in the House and Senate, Sanford asked for their help and acknowledged his interest in change. |
