Third Oconee state lawmaker aligns with override try

Rep. Bill Sandifer says from what he understands, restoring $300 thousand dollars to complete the Palmetto Trail extension from Stumphouse Tunnel Park to Walhalla won’t break the state budget. Sandifer made known this position during a 101.7/WGOG NEWS interview when he said, “I intend to override the veto on that. I think that’s an important thing for Oconee County and the state of South Carolina….” Sandifer’s commitment to try to override means all three members of the state’s Oconee delegation are committed to try to reverse Governor McMaster’s veto.
