News SC Politics Sneaky Amazon.com proviso not going to happen

14 March 2011
Thanks to Jesse Hathaway at Right Turns Only for the heads-up on this.
We checked with a few sources after reading Jesse's post regarding the sneaky addition of a proviso giving Amazon.com the unpopular kickback.
Our sources confirm that actions are being taken to assure the little ruse by Cooper and cronies does not happen. Another great example of the watchdogs helping protect South Carolina's taxpayers.

The other day, I wrote about the Amazon.com distribution plant in Cayce, and the proposed sales tax exemption (worth 40 million dollars!) that former Governor Sanford promised Amazon.
As I predicted, the people trying to push this idea through would to attempt to slip in the kickback as a proviso during Budget Week (which is this week).
Guess what? The promoters of the Amazon Kickback are doing just that. Gosh, I must be psychic or something.
Fortunately, I’m here to let you, the people of South Carolina, know what’s going down in the backrooms of the Blatt Building.
Sometime this week, Rep. Dan Cooper (R-Anderson), and a few other House Republicans, are planning to slip in a proviso that will put the Amazon Kickback into law, at the urging of Commerce Secretary Bobby Hitt and his allies.
The advantage of slipping in the Amazon.com sales tax exemption as a proviso, is that only the most astute lawmaker would notice that such a thing has been done, and the whole maneuver would be executed in the figurative dead of night.
