Drug company awards pay increases after bill signed

A company in W. Columbia, Nephron Pharmaceuticals, announced pay raises of five percent for all employees as the result of the Tax Cuts and Job Acts becoming law.  And Senator Lindsey Graham was there for the celebration announcement.  Graham said, “This pay raise will increase the hourly workforce’s wage to fifteen dollars per hour and the average salary at Nephron to seventy thousand dollars per year.  A five percent pay raise is real money to Nephron’s employees.”  Graham stood behind President Trump during last week’s celebration of the passage of the tax bill which the South Carolina Republican said will continue to grow the economy and make American business more successful and help working people earn and save.
